关于此电子书

The 21st century marks a significant transition toward a circular bioeconomy, as society gradually moves away from fossil fuel dependence and explores the potential of renewable resources. This shift extends beyond energy production to encompass the fundamental materials that construct our world—from buildings and infrastructure to common household items. Envision a future where our problematic reliance on fossil fuels evolves into a sustainable relationship with renewable carbon sources, utilizing nature's resources to create a healthier and more climate friendly way of life.

This book offers an accessible visual exploration of the emerging biobased economy. Whether you're a designer, entrepreneur, student, or simply curious about sustainable futures – Through clear illustrations and explanations, it introduces readers to an array of materials derived from plants, fungi, algae, bacteria, and cleverly repurposed biological waste. Blending traditional knowledge with modern innovation, the book both explains the principles behind a biobased economy and presents 101 compelling products, materials, and concepts that are shaping our collective future.
