Future prospective of advanced green materials

Green materials are an emerging solution for reducing waste and pollution. Various studies show that green materials have reached every aspect of product design, which covers the entire life cycle of a product from conceptual design to disposal, causing a minimal adverse impact on the environment by the optimized use of resources. Green materials-based products have the target to minimize the effects of human actions on the environment and ecosystem. Nevertheless, the production of biocompatible composites with the necessary hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, adhesion, affinity, and mechanical properties pose significant challenges. These issues have, to an extent, been addressed through nanotechnological interventions. Nanobiopolymers have shown immense potential in the biomedical, food, and electronic industries and it may be justly expected that further research into advanced green nanocomposites may be the solution to waste management, pollution control, and lower cost of production. This chapter highlights the future aspects and prospects of green materials toward sustainable production and recycling. To save the environment and reduce the product cost, green materials are essential for sustainable development for the current global issues.
