Abstract
Adding value of slaugtherhouses products and wastes today become greater attention, especially bone wastes for producing renewable biomaterials, in supporting sustainable green industries. However, the high potency of developing the renewable bioinorganic materials from bone wastes needs an comprehensive need assesment. The need assesment was conducted through three steps: defining the needs by literature searching and metaanalysis, collecting and analysing data, and making decision of the needs. Results of the study showed that (1) there were prospective and sustainable raw materials from slaughterhouses in Indonesia, especially bones, for developing phosphate based bioinorganic materials; (2) there were some needs of developing bioinorganic nanoparticles materials in M-Si-P-O, M-Al-P-O, and M-Al-Si-P-O systems (with M = main and/or transition metals) for artifisial bones and teeth purposes; and (3) there were some needs of developing thermo-hydrochromic bioinorganic materials sensoric temperature and humidity for supporting artifisial insemination as well as medicinal purposes. The last result of the study was supported by current finding on natural inorganic thermo-hydrochromic pigment.
