The Sustainability of Chemicals and Materials research group investigates the sustainability of chemicals and materials over their entire life cycle. The mission of the team is to provide suitable methods, metrics, tools, and accurate sustainability assessments of materials to guide the transition from a fossil-based economy to a biobased economy and from a linear to a circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our research group is part of the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials (AMIBM), which is an European, cross-border research institute focusing on the development of advanced biobased materials. We are part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering of Maastricht University, and are located on the Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Geleen. <\/p>\n\n\n
