“…Constant efforts are made to promote using bio-composite materials for different purposes owing to their low cost, biodegradability, non-petroleum-based sources, and low carbon emissions (Mohanty et al 2002 ). Chitosan offers many advantages in agriculture (de Oliveira et al 2021 ), manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries (Garg et al 2019 ). The applicability of chitosan depends on the degree of chitin deacetylation.…”

“…Chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) were synthesized for the first time by Ohya and coworkers in 1994 for intravenous administration of the anticancer medication 5-fluorouracil (Ohya et al 1994 ). Since then, chitosan-based NPs have been used in a variety of fields, including agriculture (de Oliveira et al 2021 ), food processing and preservation (Mesgari et al 2021 ), drug delivery (Garg et al 2019 ), and wastewater remediation (Olivera et al 2016 ).…”

The seafood industry generates waste, including shells, bones, intestines, and wastewater. The discards are nutrient-rich, containing varying concentrations of carotenoids, proteins, chitin, and other minerals. Thus, it is imperative to subject seafood waste, including shrimp waste (SW), to secondary processing and valorization for demineralization and deproteination to retrieve industrially essential compounds. Although several chemical processes are available for SW processing, most of them are inherently ecotoxic. Bioconversion of SW is cost-effective, ecofriendly, and safe. Microbial fermentation and the action of exogenous enzymes are among the significant SW bioconversion processes that transform seafood waste into valuable products. SW is a potential raw material for agrochemicals, microbial culture media, adsorbents, therapeutics, nutraceuticals, and bio-nanomaterials. This review comprehensively elucidates the valorization approaches of SW, addressing the drawbacks of chemically mediated methods for SW treatments. It is a broad overview of the applications associated with nutrient-rich SW, besides highlighting the role of major shrimp-producing countries in exploring SW to achieve safe, ecofriendly, and efficient bio-products.

“…Searching for materials and reagents that could contribute to functionality and sustainability of textile products, researchers identified chitosan as an agent of choice [2]. Chitosan, poly- (1,4) 2amido-2-deoxy-ß-D-glucose, is a renewable polymer derived from deacetylation of the polysaccharide chitin. Chitin, poly-(1,4)-2 acetomido-2-deoxy-ß-D-glucose, is found throughout the biosphere.…”

With the industrial developments in recent times, the textile industry also needs sustainable and environmental-friendly resources. Today’s world has been overburdened with the use of synthetic or hazardous materials in day-to-day life. Chitosan polymer obtained from chitin deacetylation, having a lot of properties beneficial to mankind without being hazardous to environment and humans is currently gaining popularity for research and development all over the globe. Antimicrobial and antiviral textile finishing with the help of chitosan is a new trend in the textile field. Also, chitosan having good adsorption properties finds its application in textile effluent treatments. This review reports and discusses multifunctional finishing and dyeing of textiles with chitosan and highlights its application for textile wastewater treatment.
