Going from a fossil- to renewable-based world requires a major shift in the way we think about every aspect of life. Chemicals in this new world would need to be thoughtfully designed, keeping in mind that they should be non-depleting (renewable), nontoxic, and nonpersistent (degradable) in the environment. Performance will be coupled with sustainability aspects and a product’s value proposal will be linked to selling its function rather than merely the quantity of the chemical.
