Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
Studies of materials have started since the Age of Enlightenment when the researchers adopting analytical thinking of chemistry, physics and engineering to apprehend other fields and later have sparked out the field of material science. This revolution leads to various innovations and technological advancements. In dealing with sustainability issues, selection of materials in process or development should be carefully considered by taking into account performance factors and effects of the selected materials to the environment. This chapter presents a review of a few important keywords within the scope of this book with the aim to provide a foundation for understanding fundamental knowledge of materials for sustainable applications.

Chapter 2. Renewable and Sustainable Materials from Chemical Approach
Abstract
Despite the negative connotations associated with the word ‘chemistry’, in reality many chemical principles and processes are used to develop renewable and sustainable materials. In order to do so, a wide selection of organic materials is readily available. Application of these ranges from renewable energy to advanced materials. In the near future, it is expected that chemistry for sustainability would become the new mantra in the world of ever-limited resources. This chapter presents a detailed discussion on chemistry and chemical approach of these materials. It is hoped that in the near future, chemistry for sustainability would become the new mantra in the world of ever-limited resources.

Chapter 3. Renewable and Sustainable Materials from Biological Approach
Abstract
Materials are very important in the development of industries across the world. Production of materials can be developed either through physical process, chemical process or biological process. Looking at the angle of biological term, this process involves living organisms but is made up of many chemical reactions or other mechanisms that are related to persistence and transformation of life forms. This process plays significant role in many industries such as medical, cosmetics, food agriculture, and so on as one of sustainable and green technological options. With the objective to provide an insight into this, this chapter presents fundamental principles of renewable and sustainable material production based on biological approach including bio-based techniques of downstream and upstream processing.

Chapter 4. Renewable and Sustainable Materials for Various Green Technology Applications
Abstract
In the recent years, the environmental issues in terms of pollution and energy consumption foment an increasing interest to focus on green technology. Pertaining this, this chapter is intended to recapitulate a review on renewable and sustainable materials produced either from single unit process or integrated approach through chemical or biological methods or combination of these methods for various green technology applications. This includes the recent development and potential of these materials for energy, building and environmental applications.

Chapter 5. Challenges, Future Outlook, and Opportunities
Abstract
Every effort towards renewability and sustainability is not without its hurdles. Factors such as economy, technical and management are the biggest challenge that must be overcome. In a nutshell, it requires the collective effort from everyone: legislative, scientists, industries and the rest of people to make it happen. This chapter outlines the challenges towards sustainability. After water and food security, the next concern is the renewable and sustainable energy. Since the fossil fuel is still the main thrust in the current economy, the alternatives should already be in the pipeline by now. Harvesting natural resources for the fossil fuels replacement must be done without bringing negative impacts to the ecosystem. Despite the tough current situation, the future of the world still looks bright.
