Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are popularly known for their incredible applications because of their outstanding physicochemical properties like high surface area, scaffold morphology, functional versatility, high electrical and thermal conductivity. The production of CNTs on a large scale is very costly and non-environmentally. Nonetheless, few methods of scalable fabrication are existed, besides an eco-friendly and cost-effective fabrication of CNTs. An eco-friendly fabrication includes microbes-mediated, plant extracts-mediated and agricultural bio-wastes-mediated. Moreover, research community ought to adopt some natural and renewable sources for CNTs production in large scale. Indeed, these approaches provides a cost-effectiveness, ecofriendly, straightforward, environmental benefits and so forth. Moreover, the properties of CNTs can be improved by doping with some precious transition metals for their advanced applications like environmental and biomedical. Therefore, with this perspective the present chapter is focuses on the conventional and eco-friendly synthesis, types of CNTs, environmental and biomedical applications.
