Abstract

This review article addresses the potential for biopolymer-based composites made from agricultural waste biomass to replace conventional materials in a sustainable and responsible manner. The composition and manufacturing method of biopolymer-based composites are described in the article, along with some of their distinctive qualities and benefits, such as their low cost, renewable nature, and biodegradability. The article also shows a number of real-world uses for these composites, including packaging, construction, vehicle parts, biofuels, soil amendments, and medical uses. Overall, the article highlights the potential of biopolymer-based composites made from agricultural waste biomass for lowering waste generation, decreasing dependency on non-renewable resources, and boosting sustainability in a variety of industries.
