In this era of global environmental challenges with pollution, resource depletion, climate change, and many others, sustainability has become a top priority (at the center of UN’s 17 Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs)) in both individual and commercial practices. A powerhouse for innovations from everyday products to high-end technologies, chemistry is the science behind sustainability by continuously delivering solutions that ensure a circular economy. This work focuses on developing molecular and material-based sustainable strategies for industrial applications at different stages of chemical lifecycles—from manufacturing, such as pharmaceutical medicinal chemistry, to end-of-life carbon footprint management, such as carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). It remains and will remain essential to replace or innovate some of the existing technologies scientists have been employing across major sectors to ensure a sustainable future by improving efficiency, stability, recyclability, safety, and reducing waste production.
