Applying Circular Economy to innovative materials for energy
Circular Economy is the new innovative way to think about the life and the design of a product and first of all of a material. Nowadays when a new material is synthetized should be prepared through a sustainable pathway, using renewable energy and renewable raw materials, and it should be thought to be a recyclable or recoverable waste after its lifetime that must be as longest as possible. With this work the attention is focused on the study of some materials and on the alternative pathways and solutions to make them more sustainable and consistent with the Circular Economy principles.
