cellulose, chemical or physical techniques are used in the hydrogel synthesis
process. During this phase, green synthesis techniques including enzymatic
hydrolysis and ionic liquid-assisted dissolving seek to minimize energy usage
and the production of chemical waste..
Environmental Impact: LCA assesses the amount of energy and chemicals
needed for the synthesis of hydroge ls as well as the waste and byproducts
produced. Generally speaking, green synthesis techniques have less of an impact
on the environment than traditional techniques (He et al. 2021).

such product durability, efficiency, and end-of-life management. Sustainability is
enhanced by hydrogels made with long-term applications and little environmental
impact in mind (He et al. 2021).
4. End-o
f-Life Manageme
nt: Hydrogels generated from cellulose may be dis-
posed of, recycled, or undergo biodegradation when their useful lives are over.
The goals of appropriate end-of-life management procedures are to reduce
environmental contamination and increase resource recovery.
Environmental Impact: LCA evaluates the effects on the environment of
various disposal methods, such as recycl ing, composting, incineration, and
landfilling. Because biodegradable hydrogels disintegrate into innocuous
chemicals, they provide a sustainable end-of-life solution.
