Summary

The development and use of bio-based and innovative materials is key in shifting away from petrochemical dependencies towards more sustainable, renewable resources. This approach not only supports the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystems but also promotes innovation in material science and encourages a shift towards more sustainable consumption and production patterns. Integrating bio-based materials into a circular economy is crucial for achieving long-term environmental, economic, and social sustainability. This is the main motivation for the organization of 2nd International Conference on Chemistry, Materials, and Environment (ICCME-2024), devoted to present the recent technical developments in the fields of Sustainable Materials, and Nanotechnology for applications in sustainable Engineering and Environment. The ICCME-2024 Is Co-organized by the Faculty of Science of Sfax; University of El Manar -(Tunisia); University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P) (Morroco); and Linköping University (Sweden), and will be held in Monastir-Tunisia, from 6-8 November 2024. Selected scientific contributions on renewable materials from these areas will be published in a special issue in the Journal the Journal of Renewable Materials (Cite score 3.7, Q2).


The topics of interest include (i) natural polymers and valorization of biomass, (ii) bioplastics and biocomposites, (iii) Materials and nanomaterial for sustainable energy, (iv) Environment and sustainability, and (v) AI for Materials Science.


JRM is an interdisciplinary open-access journal publishing original research covering all aspects of renewable materials, namely bio-based materials, sustainable materials, green chemistry and including recycling and recovery of spent materials.
