Eco-Biomaterials: Sustainable Drug Delivery Platforms from Natural Polymers and Waste Derivatives
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly drug delivery systems has resulted in considerable interest in eco-biomaterials developed from natural polymers and waste-derived products. This allows their use and potential in controlled and targeted drug delivery applications, in summary, will probably have considerable afford-able advantage as these natural resources are numerous/and also unique with regards of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and expense. The environmental advantages of choosing waste-derived eco-biomaterials, are further, demonstrated by taking a circular economy in utilizing waste/derivation process to produce eco-biomaterials/biomedicine then optimizing patient care, keep sustainability. Overall, this article's discussion around eco-biomaterials is to demonstrate their potential impact in being sustainable alternatives of conventional human-made chemicals/synthetic carriers in traditional pharmaceutical technologies and improving patient care.
