Organic materials

Organic materials are substances derived from living organisms, such as plants and animals. They are primarily composed of carbon-based compounds, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. These materials are often biodegradable and can decompose naturally over time. Examples include wood, cotton, wool, and certain plastics made from natural sources. Organic materials are widely used in textiles, construction, packaging, and bio-based products because of their renewable nature and environmental benefits. Their study and application are important for sustainable development and reducing reliance on synthetic, non-renewable substances.
