Green and Sustainable Materials for Biomedical Applications examines the applications and advantages of green materials within biomedical engineering and sustainable development. Written by an international team of contributors, this book shows how innovative green materials can contribute positively to healthcare and other areas by merging perspectives from materials science, biomedical engineering, and sustainability studies. These important concepts are increasingly important, with the critical importance of addressing environmental sustainability in various sectors, including healthcare and biomedicine.

These fields often rely on traditional materials and manufacturing methods that significantly harm the environment, from depleting resources to generating pollution and waste. Concurrently, advancements in materials science have led to the development of "green" or eco-friendly materials that promise to lessen environmental damage while maintaining or even enhancing performance.
