We have been studying Green and Sustainable Chemistry (GSC) based on organic synthesis. As interest in Green Transformation (GX), the SDGs, and carbon neutrality, we introduced a new idea called “green material comversion.” With this idea, researchers from many fields—science, engineering, pharmacy, and agriculture—work together to create suitable chemical processes, new methods to prepare useful materials, and innovative catalysts. Our goal is to reduce environmental impact and help build a more sustainable society through these new scientific approaches.
