Alternative Uses of Water Hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes) from a Sustainable Perspective: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract: Water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes) is a floating hydrophyte plant considered one of the 100 most harmful invasive alien species in the world. Its main uses have been developed along three lines: (1) control, (2) eradication, and (3) wastewater bioremediation. The objective of this work was to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) focused on the documented uses of Pontederia crassipes, and to determine if there is evidence of its use as a raw material (plant biomass) for the generation of biodegradabl… Show more

“…Water hyacinth is one of the rapidly-growing macrophytes and is an invasive plant species in various countries and native to South America. It has a lot of potentials to produce large amounts of biomass and has rapid vegetative propagation (Sierra-Carmona et al, 2022). The role of water hyacinth-associated microbes on organic contaminants, pesticides, heavy metals, nutrient uptake and dissolved oxygen content was reported (Luo et al, 2015).…”

“…In recent years, the common water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes) has spread quickly in this section of the river, with the infestation causing not only eco-environmental damage by blocking waterways but also disruption of the aquatic ecosystem equilibrium, including a reduction in biodiversity (Carnaje et al 2018, Das et al 2016, Guragain et al 2011. The salvage of Pontederia crassipes is considered one of the most efficient approaches to removing excess nitrogen and phosphorus from polluted waters (Sierra et al 2022).…”

“…Proposed studies for the control of harmful aquatic plants, like water Hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes), including possible energy production by combustion or as an alternative fuel source or reinforcing component in the production of bioplastics, represent only weak attempts to tackle their high reproductive capacity, considering its eradication is inevitably a necessity to reduce the environmental impacts it causes, clear evidence does not exist regarding possible benefits behind their utilization [1]. Indeed, only 19% of the research articles about Pontederia crassipes propose it as a potential source of alternative fuel.…”
