Abstract

This study explores the feasibility of utilizing waste materials as precursors for green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles, presenting an environment-friendly and economically viable alternative to conventional synthesis methods. Waste sources, including food waste, agricultural waste, sewage waste, and electronic waste, are harnessed as substrates for nanoparticle production, resulting in the generation of nanoparticles with exceptional physicochemical properties. These waste-derived metallic nanoparticles demonstrate promising applications in various fields, such as semiconductor devices, coatings, pharmaceuticals, environmental remediation, and water treatment systems. By capitalizing on the waste materials, this approach not only facilitates resource utilization but also contributes to waste management and sustainable practices. The integration of waste-derived nanoparticles into industrial sectors presents opportunities for technological advancements and sustainable growth.
