Abstract

This short note explores the intersection of environmental biology and materials, shedding light on the critical role environmental biology plays in understanding and addressing the environmental impact of various materials. Through case studies, the note highlights the contributions of environmental biology in assessing biodiversity, ecological dynamics, and sustainability considerations related to materials. The studies encompass plastic pollution in marine ecosystems and the incorporation of sustainable building materials in urban environments. By elucidating these connections, the note emphasizes the importance of integrating environmental biology into material management strategies for a more sustainable future.
