Abstract

The environmental impact of conventional plastics has spurred the development of biodegradable, recyclable, and renewable polymers as sustainable alternatives. Biodegradable, recyclable, and renewable polymers are developing as viable alternatives to standard petroleum-based plastics due to their environmental benefits and sustainability. These polymers can be manufactured using renewable sources such as plants and microbes, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing plastic pollution. Biodegradable polymers offer end-of-life solutions through composting or natural breakdown, reducing plastic pollution. Recyclable biopolymers can be processed into new products, minimizing waste. Renewably sourced polymers utilize biomass, a natural resource, to lessen dependence on fossil fuels. These polymers, derived from renewable resources such as plant-based materials, agricultural by-products, and microbial fermentation, offer several advantages over conventional plastics, including reduced environmental impact, decreased dependence on fossil fuels, and enhanced end-of-life options.

Abstract

There are serious health and environmental hazards associated with the growing amount of organic dyes in wastewater from sectors like food processing, leather, and textiles. These pollutants are frequently ineffectively removed by traditional wastewater treatment techniques. Adsorbents made from bio-waste have become a viable substitute because of their high removal efficiency, affordability, and sustainability. The adsorption of organic dyes is facilitated by the distinct surface chemistries of these adsorbents, which are made from a variety of biomass sources. Through synthesis and modification approaches, recent research has concentrated on enhancing these materials' adsorption capacity, selectivity, and overall performance. Adsorbents made from bio-waste have potential uses in pollutant degradation, nutrient recovery, and value addition in addition to dye removal. But issues like leaching and long-term stability need to be carefully thought out.  This review highlights the recent advancements in the application of bio-waste-derived adsorbents for organic dye removal from wastewater, emphasizing their potential contributions to sustainable wastewater treatment and resource recovery.
