Elsevier Algae-Based Biomaterials for Sustainable Development: Biomedical, Environmental Remediation and Sustainability Assessment

Algae-based biomaterial, a green and renewable material, can be produced from various micro- and macro-algae species and utilized for several applications such as biomedical healthcare and environmental remediation. Algae-Based Biomaterials for Sustainable Development is dedicated resource providing insight in the current development of algae-based biomaterials. The reference delivers diverse feedstocks and technologies for biomaterial production on a perspective of sustainable development. Circular bioeconomy aspects are also included giving the researcher a comprehensive sustainable development view. A valuable addition to the Biomass, Biofuels, and Biochemicals series, Algae-Based Biomaterials for Sustainable Development delivers a much-needed reference for today’s applications in biomedical and environmental remediation.
