Waste Biomass Transformed into Valuable Chemicals, Fueling Sustainable Future
The article discusses using plant waste called green waste to make valuable products in bio refineries instead of relying on petroleum. They focused on turning low-lignin plant waste, like branches and leaves, into things like enzymes, electrodes for special applications, biodegradable plastics, and eco-friendly pesticides. The researchers found that making enzymes from this kind of waste has the highest potential to make money, followed by the electrodes, plastics, and pesticides. This approach of turning plant waste into useful stuff not only helps reduce waste but also opens up new economic opportunities in the field of bioeconomy.
