A greener prescription: the power of natural organic materials in healthcare
Abstract
Natural organic materials (NM), which are biodegradable, biocompatible, renewable, and electroactive, offer a sustainable solution to technological progress's impact on the environment. This perspective places particular emphasis on NM’s potential to reduce environmental impact and create sustainable solutions for medical devices and disposable products. Nonetheless, challenges remain in scaling up production and addressing durability. Integrating natural systems into technological processes can help achieve a more eco-friendly and balanced future.
