Green chemistry and bioeconomy for the challenges of the green revolution and ecological transition

In modern society, green and sustainable materials are essential to address current environmental and climate challenges. Bioplastics, geopolymers, bio-based coatings and nanocomposites/nanohybrids based on natural fibres are revolutionizing sectors such as construction, automotive, textiles, sensing, aero spatial, packaging and environmental remediation. These materials, thanks to their biodegradability, renewability and reduced energy consumption, significantly contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and to the saving of natural resources, promoting a circular economy and a sustainable future. Interactive experiments will show different types of functional materials and their employment also for the detection of environmental parameters and absorption of contaminants.
