Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainability and approaches that are along the line with the principles of green chemistry are already now in the focus of many chemists. Some important issues that need our attention are the minimization of (toxic) waste, the use of efficient catalytic chemical reactions, the sustainable utilization of renewable feedstocks, and many others. In addition, it is very important to include these concepts to the curriculum of our students in order to educate a future generation of chemists that will not repeat the mistakes made by their predecessors.
