Abstract: This paper describes the state of the art and future opportunities for process design and sustainable development. In the Introduction, the main global megatrends and the European Union’s response to two of them, the European Green Deal, are presented. The organization of professionals in the field, their conferences, and their publications support the two topics. A brief analysis of the published documents in the two most popular databases shows that the environmental dimension predominates, followed by the e… Show more

“…In the case of EU countries, the abandonment of conventional sources in favor of energy from RES results from the implemented concept of the European Green Deal (EGD), a plan to build a sustainable EU economy based on the challenges of combating climate and natural environment change [9,10]. The EGD, announced by the European Commission in December 2019, aims to reduce carbon emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 [11].…”

“…In the context of GC, the higher the AE/lesser E factor, the better for the sustainability goals affiliated with agriculture. The pursuit of ideal AE (100%) and E factor (0) in the production of a target chemical product demands 100% resource efficiency: mass of reactants = mass of target products (Glavic et al, 2021). Beyond mass-based metrics is the life-cycle assessment, which comprehensively considers factors such as process input (reagents, solvents, metals) sustainability, environmental impact (carbon footprint, energy consumption, eco-toxicity, risk factor), implicated material/products (Sheldon, 2017;Sukumaran and Gopi, 2021), and analytical methods that work on the concept of minimized hazards and solvents, operator safety maximization, device and sample miniaturization, and greener solvent usage (Panhwar et al, 2021).…”

“…Fruit & Vegetables Fish by-products Shrimp waste Carotenoids (astaxanthin) Antioxidant activity, inhibition of lipid peroxidation [50] More specifically, the improvement of process efficiency requires both to maintain a sustained driving force for the extraction process, for example by acting on the affinity and solubilization of the target solutes in the selected solvent, and to reduce the mass transfer resistances, for example through the permeabilization or destruction of the plant cell envelope, which represent the main physical barriers for the diffusion of the target compounds. Thus, the integration of "green" solvents into a biorefinery of agri-food byproducts based on innovative technologies can be expected to support the development of truly sustainable extraction processes of natural antioxidant compounds [1,2].…”
