ABSTRACT
The advancement of the industrialization process effectively enhances food production at both the farm and industry levels. As a consequence, a tremendous amount of agro-industrial wastes have been generated worldwide. The accumulation of wastes generated daily without proper waste management can lead to severe environmental issues. Thus, a wide range of research has been conducted to valorize non-value wastes into valuable by-products to mitigate the issues. One of the promising aspects of waste utilization is related to the production of nanomaterials from agro-industrial wastes. Due to the inexpensiveness and properties of the materials, agro-industrial wastes have become the prime candidate for the feasible production of nanomaterials such as nanoparticles and nanofibres, which exhibit bioactive properties. However, cytotoxicity and environmental concerns still remain regarding the utilization of nanomaterials in several fields.
