We report on the next generation supra-colloidal systems, capable of performing emergent functions by utilizing trans-disciplinary approaches for deconstruction and re-assembly. Such efforts have a direct impact in water use, waste reduction, energy efficiency and carbon fixation. Yet, important gains can be achieved in terms of clean energy, industrial bioengineering, among others. Any success in related efforts, however, hinges on the application of concepts associated to formulation engineering, as will be presented. Some specific cases will be illustrated, including emulsions, foams and other multiphase systems used as intermediaries for material development. Similarly, going from molecular to colloidal scales there is a quest towards in-depth colloidal engineering of mechanical, thermal, electrical, iontronic, optical, magnetic, and biological functions. Solutions in these directions will have a major impact in the future of advanced materials and energy.
