Description
Achieving sustainable development goals and contributing to climate change mitigation is of key importance in reorganising research aims, used methods and selection of study objects. The replacement of fossil materials with renewable ones and full utilisation of biomass according to a zero-waste concept is a strategy providing new challenges and opportunities for structuring research and development in green laboratories. Prospective directions of activities include studies dedicated to the processing of biomass of differing origin into new materials, according to the biomass processing value pyramid, starting with the uppermost levels (products of added value chemicals used in food, biopharma etc.), followed by bulk chemicals for the production of biopolymers, synthons and considering utilisation of processing waste into energy.
