This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in green and renewable processing strategies for metal halide perovskites, with a particular focus on environmentally benign material design and device fabrication. We first discuss the development of non-toxic, lead-free perovskite materials, highlighting the most promising candidates based on performance, stability, and elemental abundance. Subsequently, progress in green solvent engineering, including bio-derived and low-toxicity solvent systems, is summarized with an emphasis on solvent–perovskite interactions and process compatibility. We then examine green and low-energy fabrication processes, such as low-temperature, vacuum-free, and scalable coating techniques, which significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. The importance of intrinsic material stability is further discussed as a key criterion for sustainable perovskite technologies, as prolonged operational lifetimes directly translate into reduced environmental impact. Finally, emerging recycling and circular-economy strategies for perovskite devices are reviewed, addressing material recovery, substrate reuse, and end-of-life considerations.

This pathway-first strategy enables arbitrarily shaped guiding channels protected by a photonic bandgap, maintaining high transmission through bends and complex geometries without reliance on lattice symmetry directions. Within this unified framework, conventional photonic crystal waveguides emerge naturally as special cases, while genuinely freeform interconnects that are inaccessible within periodic architectures become systematically realizable. Finite-difference time-domain simulations demonstrate robust guidance and high transmission within a well-defined low-loss spectral window for realistic material platforms. These predictions are validated experimentally through near-infrared measurements on silicon membrane devices and mm-scale experiments on 3D-printed ceramic slabs, which directly confirm low-loss transmission and field confinement along freeform pathways.
