Abstract: Since many decades, the solution to social and technological problems is made possible by the application of innovative concepts or ideas inspired by Nature. Although this might seem a novel approch, it is indeed a very old scientific method. One of the most outstanding examples is represented by the drawings and models realised by Leonardo da Vinci, which reveal how the most famous inventor of the Renaissance period developed his scientific knowledge through the study of nature. The term Nature-inspired actually means “ideas inspired by Nature” and was recently subjected to a sort of speciation process which branched expressions like geo-inspiration, bio-inpiration and many more (Darder et al., 2007). Geoinspiration denotes the wealth of motivations that materials’ scientists can borrow from the mineral world. It can be a powerful tool to solve modern human problems such as the management of wastes, a global concern of the modern world.
