Conceptual underpinnings for creating sustainable and biodegradable chemicals
-
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Current global issues prioritize sustainability and environmental protection, which calls for the creation of compounds with better environmental qualities, especially those that are sustainable and biodegradable. Examining the theoretical and scientific underpinnings of the creation of these materials is the goal of this study. It goes over the fundamentals of natural biodegradability, the chemical characteristics that make them sustainable, and the theoretical and mathematical models that make it possible to evaluate and forecast how these materials will behave and interact with their surroundings. A theoretical framework that can help with the creation of chemicals that adhere to sustainability and environmental safety criteria was developed using an analytical approach based on a survey of scientific literature and associated theories. The findings showed that the development of efficient and biodegradable materials requires a careful balancing act between material stability and decomposition ease. Additionally, useful for forecasting material performance and reducing related hazards are theoretical models. The study also emphasized the necessity of precise theoretical standards for evaluating a material's sustainability. While offering theoretical direction for directing future research toward safer and more ecologically friendly materials that support sustainable material handling practices and attain compliance with environmental and public health standards, a strong theoretical framework improves the design and assessment of sustainable chemicals.
