“…[ 40 ] The drawback of using lignocellulose material is the poor availability of the sugar molecule. This led to researchers trying out different pretreatment methods such as alkali, [ 46 ] acid, [ 47 ] intense heat, [ 46 ] compressed hot water, [ 43 ] ionic liquids [ 48 ] etc. which gave 70–90% higher hemicellulose saccharification and higher bio‐ethanol yield.…”

Polyethylene (PE), a highly prevalent non‐biodegradable polymer in the field of plastics, presents a waste management issue. To alleviate this issue, bio‐PE, derived from renewable resources like corn and sugarcane, offers an environmentally friendly alternative. This review discusses various production methods of bio‐PE, including fermentation, gasification, and catalytic conversion of biomass. Interestingly, the bio‐PE production volumes and market is expanding due to the growing environmental concerns and regulatory pressures. Additionally, the production of PE and bio‐PE biocomposites using agricultural waste as filler materials, highlights the growing demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics. According to previous studies, addition of about 50% defibrillated corn and abaca fibers into bio‐PE matrix and a compatibilizer, resulted in the highest Young's modulus of 4.61 and 5.81 GPa, respectively. These biocomposites have potential applications in automotive, building construction, and furniture industries. Moreover, the advancement made in abiotic and biotic degradation of PE and PE biocomposites is elucidated to address their environmental impacts. Finally, the paper concludes with insights into the opportunities, challenges, and future perspectives in the sustainable production and utilization of PE and bio‐PE biocomposites. Summed up, production of PE and bio‐PE biocomposites can contribute to a cleaner and sustainable future.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

“…Monosaccharides, formed by various polymerization forms to create complex sugars, starches, and fibers, are minor carbohydrate structures (Saïed et al, 2023;Trejo et al, 2023). In addition to categorizing carbohydrates according to physiological characteristics, carbohydrates' chemical-structural qualities and the degree of polymerization are also considered (Panahi et al, 2022).…”

This study investigates the potential of golden shower foliage (GSF) fermentable sugars for sustainable bioethanol production. Utilizing chemical and biological pretreatments involving agents such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), calcium oxide (CaO), and Trichoderma reesei. The research analyzed various aspects including reducing sugar coefficient, total sugar, degree of polymerization (DP), and derived energy. Results underscored the efficacy of a 3% NaOH solution over 72 hours in maximizing sugar and energy concentration, facilitating efficient lignocellulosic biomass conversion into sugar. However, the economic viability for large-scale deployment poses a challenge, directing attention to the cost-benefit of incorporating CaO due to its affordability compared to NaOH without notably diminishing output efficiency. The role of T. reesei, a notable entity in biomass decomposition and a staple in biofuel production, was also highlighted. The research further delved into the complexity of carbohydrate structures and the significant role of the degree of polymerization, influencing the classification of carbohydrates based on their monomer count. Therefore, this approach is the cost and competitiveness of the pretreatment on the hydrolysis phase of large-scale fermentable sugar is a hurdle.
