As personal transportation is one of the greatest contributors of CO2 emissions, means able to assist travelers in reducing their ecological impact are urgently needed. In this work we focus on travel recommenders that encourage green transportation habits among travelers who have a preexisting interest in taking action to lessen their impact on the environment. We aim to provide urban traveler...

Climate change is strongly linked to human behavior and technologies, and many of the barriers to sustainable behavior are rather psychological than technological. More sustainable technologies and food products have been introduced to combat climate change, most often labeled with morally loaded labels such as “organic” or “environmentally friendly”. The purpose of this thesis was, first, to g...

TiCl4/nano-cellulose as a biodegradable and eco-friendly Lewis acid catalyst was synthesized via reaction of nano-cellulose and TiCl4. This catalyst was characterized and used for synthesis of asymmetric highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines via a five-component condensation reaction of p-substituted anilines, aldehydes and ethyl acetoacetate under solvent-free condition. Simple methodology...

The pig husbandry is an important economic sector. In the last decade, major changes have been made. As a result, farmers came together to introduce the ‘Eco Label pig’, meeting the strong consumer and governmental call for high quality, animal friendly and environmentally friendly food. The market for Eco Label food is expected to grow enormously in the next years, asking for the development o...

Eco friendly pharmaceutical packaging materials are the safe materials for environment which enclose pharmaceutical product in any of the dosage forms. They may be derived from natural resources, like starches, proteins etc. that inflict little or nearly no harm on the environment and the environment dependent species. This review highlight the eco friendly materials, their classification, uses...

   This procedure has developed the use of TiO2 nanoparticles as an environmentally friendly and highly efficient heterogenous nanocatalyst for the eco-safe, facile and one-pot three-component Biginelli synthesis of biologically active corresponding 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-one/thione derivatives under solvent-free conditions. This eco-friendly protocol provi...

Environmental sustainability and eco-friendly design are becoming increasingly important in engineering today. This paper discusses green design in the KAIST Freshman Design Program. It is shown that students and faculty members tend to choose green design projects, even when not required. Students have successfully adapted general design processes and formal design theories to eco-friendly des...
