“…Economic pure cellulose extraction [ 19 , 20 ] unfolded the numerous chlorine-based systems [ [21] , [22] , [23] ] that yield pure cellulose fibres, and consequently low yield. While chlorine-related operation systems [ 19 , 20 ] are only scanty, sulfur-based fibre extraction process [ 24 , 25 ], may be more superior from yield perspectives. The revived sulfur-based systems like the Magnefite process that evolved with an efficient resource recovery can be smartly designed to reroute wastes such as fines to nanocellulose production [ 25 ].…”

“…Conversion of wastes to monetary values is recommended to leverage the extra capital underpinning the stringent ‘cleansing’ requirements to curb the corrosive emissions and discharge treatment. Some of these and other alkali techniques have also been proven successful in purifying cellulose from the oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) [ [20] , [21] , [26] , [27] , [28] ] at the laboratory scale. Nanocellulose and nanowhiskers at less than 50% yield was possibly generated, all of which are characterised by the nanometre scale diameter of the fibrils [ [28] , [29] , [30] ].…”

“…Recently, biodegradable CNC has received considerable research interest in several applications. Cellulose consisting of crystalline and amorphous areas is the critical foundation of plant fibers [ 48 ]. This can provide mechanical integrity, and therefore can be utilized to reinforce membrane materials, polymers, and bio nanocomposites [ 49 ].…”

Worldwide water shortage and significant issues related to treatment of wastewater streams, mainly the water obtained during the recovery of oil and gas operations called produced water (PW), has enabled forward osmosis (FO) to progress and become advanced enough to effectively treat as well as retrieve water in order to be productively reused. Because of their exceptional permeability qualities, thin-film composite (TFC) membranes have gained increasing interest for use in FO separation processes. This research focused on developing a high water flux and less oil flux TFC membrane by incorporating sustainably developed cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) onto the polyamide (PA) layer of the TFC membrane. CNCs are prepared from date palm leaves and different characterization studies verified the definite formations of CNCs and the effective integration of CNCs in the PA layer. From the FO experiments, it was confirmed that that the membrane with 0.05 wt% of CNCs in the TFC membrane (TFN-5) showed better FO performance in PW treatment. Pristine TFC and TFN-5 membrane exhibited 96.2% and 99.0% of salt rejection and 90.5% and 97.45% of oil rejection. Further, TFC and TFN-5 demonstrated 0.46 and 1.61 LMHB pure water permeability and 0.41 and 1.42 LHM salt permeability, respectively. Thus, the developed membrane can help in overcoming the current challenges associated with TFC FO membranes for PW treatment processes.

“…Biopolymers, derived from living organisms or their by-products, have garnered significant attention as a potential solution to the limitations of conventional synthetic polymers. These materials, including starch [8], cellulose [9], chitin [10], proteins [11], and lignin [12], exhibit attractive ecological attributes such as biodegradability, renewability, carbon sequestration potential, and notably low embodied energy requirements [1]. As such, biopolymer-based materials hold the potential to revolutionise cladding practices by providing environmentally friendly alternatives that align with the growing demand for sustainable construction materials [13] (Figure 2).…”

The application of biopolymer materials in cladding presents a promising avenue for enhancing building sustainability, while addressing the limitations of conventional synthetic polymers. Cladding serves a dual purpose of protection and aesthetics for buildings, but increasing global energy consumption and environmental concerns necessitate the adoption of sustainable practices. The construction sector’s substantial energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions highlight the urgent need for sustainable building materials. Conventional cladding materials often lack sustainability and environmental compatibility. Biopolymers, derived from living organisms or by-products, offer a potential solution with their biodegradability, renewability, and low embodied energy. These materials can revolutionise cladding practices by providing eco-friendly alternatives aligned with sustainable construction demands. Integrating biopolymers with synthetic polymers can enhance material biodegradability, contributing to overall degradation. Prominent biopolymers like PLA, PHAs, starch-based polymers, cellulose, PHB, and PBS exhibit biodegradability and sustainability, positioning them in the front rank for cladding applications. Despite significant research in biopolymer applications in different fields, there is limited research to identify the application and limitations of biopolymers as building cladding materials. This review paper aims to bridge the research gaps by comprehensively analysing diverse biopolymer cladding materials based on their properties and exploring their cross-domain utility, thereby highlighting their transformative role in sustainable construction practices. The expanding biopolymer market in building cladding materials underscores their potential to drive innovation, with projected growth emphasising their importance.
