The Virtual Special Issue (VSI) "New research on reduction and/or elimination of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products" was initially associated to the "International Conference on Green Chemistry and Sustainable Engineering, GreenChem-20" that was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Anyway, the international conference will take place in the near future. However, the VSI was maintained in this journal, received a high number of submissions, and selected manuscripts have been accepted after peer-reviewing. The published papers constitute a set of high-quality contributions, which, in the future, could be complemented with others related to additional conferences about similar topics. In this editorial piece, the Editors include brief comments on papers accepted for publication in the Special Issue, as well as additional aspects of interest related to the subject.
本期虚拟特刊（VSI）“化学产品设计、制造和应用中有害物质的减少和/或消除的新研究”最初与因 COVID-19 大流行而推迟的“绿色化学与可持续工程国际会议，GreenChem-20”相关联。无论如何，该国际会议将在不久的将来举行。然而，VSI 仍保留在本刊中，收到了大量投稿，并在同行评审后接受了选定的稿件。已发表的论文构成了一组高质量的贡献，未来可能会补充其他与类似主题的会议相关的论文。在这篇社论中，编辑们对特刊中发表的论文进行了简要评论，并介绍了与主题相关的其他方面。
