Green Biomaterials: Toward a Multidimensional Classification
Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2026.A multidimensional framework is introduced to redefine green biomaterials beyond single descriptors such as bio‐based or biodegradable. By integrating material origin, processing, lifecycle performance, biofunctionality, and application context, the framework resolves inconsistencies in current terminology and provides a foundation for the rational ...
