“…A significant amount of such produce is inedible and post-use waste such as fruit and vegetable peels can serve as a cellulose-rich source, thereby serving as a good starting material for making cost effective biodegradable plastic films. [15] Also, the agro-food industry generates high volumes of inedible process wastes/by-products from the vegetable/ cereal processing industry. This waste that is inedible for mankind can be easily converted into useful biodegradable plastics with varying properties such as extensional for spinach/ parsley stem and strong for rice hulls.…”

Plastics around the globe have been a matter of grave concern due to the unavoidable habits of human mankind. Taking waste statistics in India for the year 2019–20 into account, the data of 60 major cities show that the generation of plastic waste stands tall at around 26,000 tonnes/day, of which only about 60 % is recycled. A majority of the non‐recycled plastic waste is petrochemical‐based packaging materials that are non‐biodegradable in nature. Vegetative/food waste is another global issue, evidenced by vastly populated countries such as China and India accounting for 91 and 69 tonnes of food wastage, respectively in 2019. The mitigation of plastic packaging issues has led to key scientific developments, one of which is biodegradable materials. However, there is a way that these two waste‐related issues can be fronted as the analogy of “taking two shots with the same arrow”. The presence of various bio‐compounds such as proteins, cellulose, starch, lipids, and waxes, etc., in food and vegetative waste, creates an opportunity for the development of biodegradable packaging films. Although these flexible packaging films have limitations in terms of mechanical, permeation, and moisture absorption characteristics, they can be fine‐tuned in order to convert the biobased raw material into a realizable packaging product. These strategies could work in replacing petrochemical‐based non‐biodegradable packaging plastics which are used in enormous quantities for various household and commercial packaging applications to combat the ever‐increasing pollution in highly populated countries. This paper presents a systematic review based on modern scientific tools of the literature available with a major emphasis on the past decade and aims to serve as a standard resource for the development of biodegradable packaging films from food/vegetative waste.

In an effort to improve the quality of treated water, the implementation of a new technology referred to as Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) is being examined, either alone or in combination with other processes. When working with real conditions there are sometimes changes which involve adjustments of the process, and it is easier to perform such adjustments when it has a reliable mathematical model. The studied scaled design referred to as Fenton treatment, involving the use of a central-composite design (quadratic model) which was tested on the effluent discharge of a slaughterhouse. As a result of our treatability study, we experienced removal efficiencies based on chemical oxygen demand (COD) greater than 85%, while ascertaining that removal process was the result of chemical oxidation and coagulation.
