Abstract

Abstract: Industries are working to minimize their reliance on petrochemicals and petroleum-based industrial components and replace them with biobased, sustainable, and environmentally friendly alternatives due to the global warming emergency caused by the uncontrolled production of greenhouse gases. The agricultural waste provides large volumes of lignocellulosic biomass, a sustainable resource material to develop a wide portfolio of bioproducts. Recent developments in integrated biorefineries have enhanced the utilization of waste lignocellulose components to generate biofuels, platform chemicals, resins, bioplastics, additives, and other biobased materials for a variety of applications. Here in this review, we have summarized recent advancements in the processing of lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural waste. Additionally, this review thoroughly discussed the recent technological advancements in the utilization of various lignocellulose biomass constituents for biofuels, biocomposites, and bioplastics. Finally, an assessment of the currently existing literature gaps and prospective future perspectives for the development of lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural waste has been conducted. Graphical abstract: Adoption of circular economy principles can help in reducing the negative impact on natural resources. Image 1 Highlights: Circular economy principles can help in reducing the impact on natural resources. Researchers and businesses are showing interest in lignocellulose biorefineries. LCB offers renewable feedstock for many application areas i.e. bioplastics and fuel. This review gives readers a clearer grasp of how LCB is used in circular economies.
