“…Modified commercial dressing materials were obtained characterised by a significantly increased absorption capacity, which facilitates the drainage of moisture outside the dressing and provides an optimal environment for wound healing. They also show antibacterial activity against Gram (−) Escherichia coli and Gram (+) Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, as well as antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus Niger [64,65]. Using biomaterials, a method of preparing collagen-modified chitosan fibres (Chit/Col) from chitosan-collagen solutions was also developed for the construction of scaffolds used in the regeneration of cartilage tissue.…”

The main challenge of the economy is counteracting the adverse effects of progressive industrialisation on the environment around the world. Economic development that accompanies this trend correlates to production increase in not only consumer articles but also special application articles that are difficult to remanufacture, such as medical supplies. For many researchers, discovering innovative materials for special applications that could become an essential element of circular economy production is important. Measures to reduce the production of industrial materials whose waste is difficult to recycle are more and more apparent to manufacturers, especially when faced with the new financial situation in European Union, as one of its priorities is to implement the principles of circular economy. The purpose of the article is to analyse the current state of research on special-application biomaterials within the context of the circular economy. Empirical analysis is conducted for Poland compared to the rest of the European Union (EU) within the time-frame of 2014–2020, which is the most recent financial timeframe of the EU. The submitted studies are based on secondary data obtained mainly from European databases, as well as primary data resulting from the research works at Łukasiewicz Research Network—Institute of Biopolymers and Chemical Fibres.
