Environmentally friendly materials and

In addition to the process benefits, there are cost and environmental benefits associated with the supercritical process. The supercritical fluid process has low operating energy costs when compared to other alternative solvent processes and the cost of the carbon dioxide used to supply the system is orders of magnitude less than the purchase costs of chlorofluorocarbons, especially with the added taxes imposed by the federal government. In addition, carbon dioxide is a more environmentally friendly material and does not have the disposal costs associated with other alternatives. 

We also expect our business partners - printers, paper mills, packaging manufacturers, etc.—to commit themselves to using environmentally friendly materials and production processes. 

Selecting environmentally friendly materials and products for construction is perhaps the most difficult challenge faced by design professionals today. It is difficult if not impossible to define a green building material or product as so few exist today. Some qualities of one set of ideal materials is that they are derived from renewable resources and recyclable in the sense that they can be composted and returned to nature as a nutrient. Clearly wood products, cotton, wool, jute, hemp, sisal, kenaf and many other materials have these qualities but they are not being recycled or composted in any meaningful way at present. Another set of ideal materials are derived from non-renewable... 

Green nanocomposites based on PHAs appear as the next generation of environmentally-friendly materials and broaden the range of PHAs applications by enhancing the polymer properties (ductility, melt viscosity, thermal stability). Thus, more appropriate new macromolecular architectures and nanoparticle-based systems should allow, in the near future, the limits of these materials (high crystallinity, brittleness, poor thermal stability) to be overcome. 

Replace- consmnption of environmental friendly materials and try to replace it.
