The sustainable development of next-generation device technology is paramountin the face of climate change and the looming energy crisis. Tremendous effortshave been made in the discovery and design of nanomaterials that achievedevice-level sustainability, where high performance and low operational energycost are prioritized. However, many of such materials are composed of elementsthat are under threat of depletion and pose elevated risks to the environment.The role of material-level sustainability in computational screening effortsremains an open question thus far. Here we develop a general van der Waalsmaterials screening framework imbued with sustainability-motivated searchcriteria. Using ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) materials as a backdrop -- an emergingmaterials class with great prospects in dielectric, power electronics, andultraviolet device applications, we demonstrate how this screening frameworkresults in 25 sustainable UWBG layered materials comprising only of low-riskselements. Our findings constitute a critical first-step towards reinventing amore sustainable electronics landscape beyond silicon, with the frameworkestablished in this work serving as a harbinger of sustainable 2D materialsdiscovery.
