The main aim of the current policy is to keep the environment in orbit witheconomics at the center, not considering nature or environment as simplecommodities. Preserving planet Earth’s biodiversity is crucial in order to keep itsecosystems in equilibrium.For this purpose, it is necessary to produce goods and tools using bio and ecocompatiblemethodologies whilst also increasing knowledge on the concept ofindustrial sustainability. In fact, sustainability has to be based on the 3P pillars:Planet, People and Profit, i.e., (a) the preservation of the planet’s environment; (b)the respect of people’s safety and well-being, to meet the social expectations; (c) themaintenance of the industrial profit to manufacture and compete at a global level.Without entering into any kind of neoliberal education policy, this book aimsto present new ideas to encourage those in the manufacturing industry to use bothindustrial and agricultural biomass in order to produce goods in a greener way. Itmay also encourage scientists and marketing professionals to educate theconsumer on the necessity of maintaining biodiversity without impoverishing ourplanet of crucial raw materials.This book represents a good asset for graduate students, researchers,academicians, and industrial experts working in the field of natural polymers whowish to maintain the biodiversity of our planet, improving our quality of life by theuse of green bionanotechnologies.
