Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Sustainable Biomaterials] From Virginia Tech

Our program focuses on the development of future leaders in the sustainable utilization of forest-based and other renewable natural materials.

The field of sustainable biomaterials is about the use of natural, renewable resources to produce innovative materials and bioenergy in a sustainable manner. It is a blend of science, engineering, and business enterprises.

In this department you can learn about the chemistry of biomaterials, their use in green construction, their use in packaging, and how to produce and market those materials.

Students can focus in sustainable biobased products, green engineered-wood structures, innovation-based manufacturing, traditional forest products, biomaterials science, advanced packaging systems, and natural resources business systems.
