Abstract

Currently, there is a wide range of consensus and awareness regarding whether nature can help or provide feasible solutions to achieve more inclusive and sustainable growth in a smart, “engineered” way. Similarly, for sustainable development the appearance of multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) among companies, governments, and civil society organizations is also remarkable as they enable them to motivate and share knowledge, expertise, technology, and financial resources. This crucial idea arises in relation to how nature-based solutions provide sustainable, cost-effective, multi-purpose, and flexible alternatives for various objectives. For example, applications of bacterial cellulose (BC), which is synthesized by various bacteria, have great potential in a number of fields, such as food, biomedical material, cosmetics, healthcare, paper making, and other applications, but has a mostly untapped potential for contributing to cellulose-based hydrogels – that is, its smart applications. This work adds detailed discussion of aspects of MSIs (science, policy, business, and society, including small and medium-sized enterprises [SMEs] and public and private investors) relating to BC and BC-based hydrogels (BHs) and the various novel applications that promote the innovative, multi-purpose, dynamic capability intended for commercially exploitable BC and BC-based biocomposite products, in the form of hydrogen. To exploit new and emerging research opportunities for BC and BHs, this work reveals the significance of building an innovative platform such as the European Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) to bring together all of these advancements in cellulose-based hydrogels in simulated pathways for novel applications.
