What Challenges Exist in Achieving Sustainability?
While nanotechnology has the potential to contribute significantly to sustainability, several challenges must be addressed:
Resource Utilization: The production of nanomaterials often requires rare and non-renewable resources. Waste Management: Proper disposal and recycling of nanomaterials are crucial to prevent environmental contamination. Energy Consumption: The manufacturing processes for nanomaterials can be energy-intensive, offsetting some of the sustainability benefits.
