The invention relates to a procedure for preparing a chitin-based porous adsorbent polymeric material that uses as starting material a second raw material, specifically carapaces and/or exoskeletons of animals such as molluses, crustaceans, insects and/or arthro-pods, or fungi. The invention also relates to the chitin-based porous adsorbent polymeric material obtainable from said pro-cedure, which is characterized by micrometric-sized pores and a high ratio between surface area and volume, as well as the uses of said material for the adsorption of heavy metals and organic compounds from contaminated sites.
