“…), biological pretreatment (using microbial consortium, enzymes, and others) [111][112][113] (Figure 3). The most popular utilisation of lignocellulosic biomass is in the field of bioethanol production as an alternate source of energy [114,115], other products that are generated from this biomass are biopolymers, xylitol, furfural, and many more [48]. Research proves that sugarcane pulp-based materials can withstand temperatures of up to 200°F, making them suitable for use in an oven or microwave.…”

“…Another nanocellulose fabricated from banana peel had shown strong and highly crystalline nature with high thermal stability and can play a significant role in the packaging of pharmaceuticals [128]. Fadeyibi et al claimed that their fabricated starch-banana peel nanocomposite film is a better packaging material than the conventional low-density polyethylene since it recorded lower counts of the microbes throughout the storage of locust beans irrespective of the sample moisture and pH over the 30 days of F I G U R E 3 Highest production of lignocellulosic biomass worldwide: Brazil (739.3k TMT/year), followed by India (341.2k TMT/year) and China (125.5k TMT/year) [48]. packaging duration.…”

“…Agro waste containing fruits and vegetables are a rich source of starch [ 45 ]. Sugarcane industry waste contains lignocellulosic biomass, which is a reservoir of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin [ 48 ]. Cellulose can be obtained from agricultural waste in the huge amount [ 49 ], and even xylan and cutin can also be easily extracted from agricultural waste [ 50 , 51 ].…”

“…Sugarcane bagasse is an inexpensive by‐product of the sugarcane industry and is a rich source of lignocellulose biomass, which is composed of structural components such as cellulose (crystalline region), hemicellulose, and lignin (amorphous region), as well as non‐structural components such as pectin and waxes [ 48 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 ]. The native form of lignocellulosic biomass is resistant to enzymatic degradation.…”

Uncontrolled waste generation and management difficulties are causing chaos in the ecosystem. Although it is vital to ease environmental pressures, right now there is no such practical strategy available for the treatment or utilisation of waste material. Because the Earth's resources are limited, a long‐term, sustainable, and sensible solution is necessary. Currently waste material has drawn a lot of attention as a renewable resource. Utilisation of residual biomass leftovers appears as a green and sustainable approach to lessen the waste burden on Earth while meeting the demand for bio‐based goods. Several biopolymers are available from renewable waste sources that have the potential to be used in a variety of industries for a wide range of applications. Natural and synthetic biopolymers have significant advantages over petroleum‐based polymers in terms of cost‐effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and user‐friendliness. Using waste as a raw material through industrial symbiosis should be taken into account as one of the strategies to achieve more economic and environmental value through inter‐firm collaboration on the path to a near‐zero waste society. This review extensively explores the different biopolymers which can be extracted from several waste material sources and that further have potential applications in food packaging industries to enhance the shelf life of perishables. This review‐based study also provides key insights into the different strategies and techniques that have been developed recently to extract biopolymers from different waste byproducts and their feasibility in practical applications for the food packaging business.
