Circular chemistry: How to build a new economy on a molecular level

To make the objectives of circular economy a reality, we should re-think all that we do so molecules and processes are designed from their conception to make their recovery and reuse easier. During the conference, I will present some examples of circular chemistry, including new plastics, materials and fuels produced through the conversion of residues in high-added-value products. Finally, I will describe the role of artificial intelligence and the initiatives that we are developing at IUPAC to build a more sustainable future built at molecular scale.
