Can agriculture and food waste be a solution to reduce environmental impact of plastic pollution? zero-waste approach for sustainable clean environment.

Agriculture and food waste, especially from fruits, vegetables, and plant byproducts like banana peels, avocado seeds, and durian seeds, have emerged as promising alternatives for bioplastic production. These materials, rich in polysaccharides and cellulose, offer a sustainable solution to reduce plastic pollution and mitigate the environmental impact of traditional plastics. This review focuses on the potential of utilizing agricultural and food waste to create starch-based bioplastics, emphasizing the importance of a zero-waste approach to enhance the economic value of these byproducts while promoting a cleaner environment.

Chitosan research progress for smart packaging applications: a literature review.

The environmental crisis was brought on by composites made of synthetic materials that are not biodegradable. Eco-friendly replacement materials for non-biodegradable composites is biodegradable composites. The poisonous remnants are avoided because of how the environment breaks them down.

Microplastics from petroleum-based plastics and their effects: A systematic literature review and science mapping of global bioplastics production.

The use of bioplastics is a new strategy for reducing microplastic (MP) waste caused by petroleum-based plastics. This problem has received increased attention worldwide, leading to the development of large-scale bioplastic plants. The large amount of MPs in aquatic and terrestrial environments and the atmosphere has raised global concern.
