A major driving factor in this market is the continuous research efforts worldwide to discover novel materials to be utilized in printing 3D printed products like prosthetics, orthotics, implants, masks, anatomical models, etc. This research into novel materials is aimed at finding materials that are more efficient and also environmentally friendly. For instance, according to 2025 Elsevier published article explored the use of biowaste for 3D printing.
The research highlighted the potential of biowaste-derived materials as sustainable alternatives for bone tissue engineering by repurposing animal remains, such as bones, to extract Hydroxyapatite, essential for bone regeneration. Additionally, marine biowaste, including fish skin and scales, provided an economical source of collagen, enhancing material sustainability while aligning sustainable development goals focused on health, responsible consumption, and climate action. The study emphasized the advantages of using biowaste over conventional feedstocks, noting its renewable and cost-effective nature. It discussed the extraction of Hydroxyapatite and extracellular matrix (ECM) polymers, which improved printability and bioactivity crucial for effective bone scaffolds.
Despite the promising applications, challenges such as regulatory hurdles and the need for extensive clinical trials persisted before commercialization could occur in the future. Furthermore, localized production limited broader industry investment but could stimulate indigenous technologies for biowaste utilization. Overall, biowaste-derived bioinks may contribute significantly to sustainable practices in regenerative medicine while addressing environmental concerns associated with traditional synthetic materials.
