Introduction of Environmental Materials

Background

As already mentioned, people should recognize a limit of the growth of the global environment. The coexistence of global environmental conservation and the industrial activation becomes extremely important. This is because that, as one of example, the danger signals such as the frequent abnormal weather strongly suggest an importance in sustainable society. From such a background, the practice of the concept called “green” becomes required in a chemical technique and materials development for the sustainable society. In the minimum waste and the recycling, people should bring highly efficient environmental symbiosis in energy technology, reuse of the biomass waste and the switch to a re-used material and to the remediation technology, which is applied to the earth pollution for the conservation of our environment. Therefore, the substantial use is urgent in this century. In this chapter, an action to the sustainable society and green chemistry is introduced in the points of view of the green technology using about biomass and waste re-utilization for environment materials.
