ABSTRACT
Bioceramics are natural and synthetic, and it exhibits positive interactions with the human tissues. Bioceramics can be classified into various types based on their composition, origin, crystalline nature and the tissue to which it responds. Bioceramics show physiochemical, mechanical and biological properties. Bioceramics are used in diverse biomedical applications and in tissue engineering. Bioceramics are also generated from waste-derived materials. These further show outstanding applications in tissue engineering. Thus, bioceramics are environmentally sustainable components as they are reducing the waste disposal. Waste material usage increases the availability of sources and minimizes the manufacturing cost. This chapter provides the general information of bioceramics, their types, properties, bioceramic nanomaterials followed by recycling and reusing of different bioceramics from different wastes. Thus, this chapter provides the information on how the different waste materials are involved in synthesizing useful bioceramics. The potentials of waste are creating the great opportunities for development.
