Abstract : The research delves into sustainable and efficient catalytic systems using zeolites and bio-waste- derived materials. Fully understanding the very high environmental and economic costs of traditional catalysts, the research would be oriented to the design of innovative alternatives. The synthesis and characterization of zeolites having a special pore structure for use in different catalytic aspects, most specifically hydrocracking, and the production of biofuels, are highlighted. At the same time, bio-waste-derived catalysts through the development by pyrolysis and other processes gained dual benefit by waste management and resource uses. The obtained catalysts were tested in their performance in test reactions such as the Biginelli reaction for the synthesis of renewable plastic and biodiesel production from waste cooking oil. The hypothesis is, therefore, that these newly designed catalysts, upon careful optimization, can realize activities and selectivities at high values while allowing effective reusability. This will significantly help push forward sustainable chemistry methods used today and, as a result, be relevant for a greener industrial environment.
