“…The introduction of reinforcements of lignocellulosic origin is a practice for improving the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of PLA without compromising its design and manufacturing capacity [4]. In addition, natural fibers, such as those derived from cotton, linen, jute, hemp and oil palm empty fruit brunches, are becoming a trend in the replacement of synthetic fibers, thus producing fully biodegradable manufactured polymer composite products and reducing manufacturing costs [3,5].…”

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biomaterial widely used as an alternative to petroleum-based polymeric matrices in plastic components. PLA-based biocomposites reinforced with lignocellulosic waste are currently receiving special attention owing to their mechanical properties, low toxicity, recyclability, and biodegradability. The influence of the percentage of waste on their properties and resistance to degradation are some of the points of great relevance. Therefore, a series of PLA-based biocomposites containing different percentages of olive pits (5, 15, 25 and 40% wt.) were manufactured and characterized both (a) immediately after manufacture and (b) after one year of storage under environmental conditions. The results obtained were analyzed to evaluate the influence of the incorporation of olive pits on the resistance to degradation (measured through Carbonyl Indices, CI), mechanical properties (tensile, flexural and impact strength), structure (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FT-IR; and, X-ray Diffraction, XRD), morphology (Scanning Electron Microscopy, SEM) and water absorption capacity of the manufactured materials. PLA degradation, corroborated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), FT-IR, and XRD, resulted in a decrease in tensile and flexural strengths and an increase in the tensile and flexural moduli. This trend was maintained for the biocomposites, confirming that reinforcement promoted the PLA degradation.

Fabrication of polymer-based membranes polyether sulfone (PES) which is hydrophobic which is easily experiences fouling and will a decrease in membrane performance with the addition of various organic additives from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) waste and dimethyl formamide (DMF) as solvents to look at the formation of Ultrafiltration membrane pores (UF). OPEFB additive concentration variations were 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% for each addition of 18% PES polymer. The manufacture of cellulose was alkalization, bleaching, and acid hydrolysis. The characteristics were carried out by the FTIR test to see the wavelength of OPEFB cellulose where at 1093.64 cm -1 there is a C-O functional group which proves the presence of cellulose in OPEFB, SEM, and porosity tests on the membrane. Membranes with polyether sulfone polymer are prepared by a phase inversion process. The results obtained by the flux values with variations in additive concentration and pressure variations of 0.5 %, 1%, and 1.5% obtained flux and rejection results (selectivity) using FeCl3.

Today, facing difficult environmental and sustainability questions, the palm oil industry is an important force in global trade and development. As a transformative solution to these problems, this review assesses the implementation of circular economy (CE) strategies. CE principles promote the transformation of waste into value through recycling, upcycling and other low-carbon innovation applications. This review estimates the capability of palm-based biomass, including palm oil mill effluent (POME) and refinery wastes. It evaluates how different technologies such as gasification are used to change these fuel sources into energy fuels and value-added products for industry. It also involves incorporating Industry 4.0 to boost efficiency and waste value creation into the operation. Although the potential of CE in creating an eco-friendly, profitable palm oil industry is apparent, nevertheless it must overcome all kinds and levels of barriers – from economic to technological to social. This review points out for collaborative efforts, technological advancement, and supportive policies to navigate these challenges, advocating for a unified shift towards sustainability and efficiency in the palm oil sector.
