“…Kumar et al (2022) worked on creating a more cost-effective antibacterial BC using alternative methods, such as tomato waste and Dracaena serrulata leaf extract, rather than traditional techniques involving metal nanoparticles or drug integration. The researchers emphasized the importance of producing environmentally friendly biomedical materials, which involve the reuse of waste to make production cheaper and to reduce the environmental risks associated with waste disposal and management [ 15 ].…”

“…Published research reports several agricultural sources for the production of BC with oat husk; grape extract; cherry husk coffee; and fruits, such as pineapple, pomegranate, melon, watermelon, tomato, and orange, among others [ 3 , 14 ]. According to Kumar et al (2022), the volume of food waste generated globally is 1.3 to 1.4 billion tons and is expected to increase to 2.6 billion tons by 2025 [ 15 ]. In this sense, the production of BC can contribute to the minimization of food waste, as these are rich in carbon source, food for acetic bacteria, and therefore, can be used as raw material [ 16 ].…”

Advances in the Production of Biomaterials through Kombucha Using Food Waste: Concepts, Challenges, and Potential

In recent years, several researchers have focused their studies on the development of sustainable biomaterials using renewable sources, including the incorporation of living biological systems. One of the best biomaterials is bacterial cellulose (BC). There are several ways to produce BC, from using a pure strain to producing the fermented drink kombucha, which has a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBY). Studies have shown that the use of agricultural waste can be a low-cost and sustainable way to create BC. This article conducts a literature review to analyze issues related to the creation of BC through kombucha production. The databases used were ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and SpringerLink. A total of 42 articles, dated from 2018 to 2022, were referenced to write this review. The findings contributed to the discussion of three topics: (1) The production of BC through food waste (including patents in addition to the scientific literature); (2) Areas of research, sectors, and products that use BC (including research that did not use the kombucha drink, but used food waste as a source of carbon and nitrogen); and (3) Production, sustainability, and circular economy: perspectives, challenges, and trends in the use of BC (including some advantages and disadvantages of BC production through the kombucha drink).

“…inoculants [ 161 ]. The corn formulation produced a drastic improvement in the root length of rice seedlings, wet weight, and biomass, unlike the inoculum introduced with sugarcane bagasse and the control [ 162 ]. A formulation in the form of flowable powder was produced for biostimulant Trichoderma strain dry sprays employing a CO 2 -producing dispersant system based on citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, and polyacrylic acid with lecithin and polyvinyl alcohol employed as adhesives and the former as a wetting agent [ 163 ].…”

The fungi species dwelling in the rhizosphere of crop plants, revealing functions that endeavor sustainability of the plants, are commonly referred to as ‘plant-growth-promoting fungi’ (PGPF). They are biotic inducers that provide benefits and carry out important functions in agricultural sustainability. The problem encountered in the agricultural system nowadays is how to meet population demand based on crop yield and protection without putting the environment and human and animal health at risk based on crop production. PGPF including Trichoderma spp., Gliocladium virens, Penicillium digitatum, Aspergillus flavus, Actinomucor elegans, Podospora bulbillosa, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, etc., have proven their ecofriendly nature to ameliorate the production of crops by improving the growth of the shoots and roots of crop plants, the germination of seeds, the production of chlorophyll for photosynthesis, and the abundant production of crops. PGPF’s potential mode of action is as follows: the mineralization of the major and minor elements required to support plants’ growth and productivity. In addition, PGPF produce phytohormones, induced resistance, and defense-related enzymes to inhibit or eradicate the invasion of pathogenic microbes, in other words, to help the plants while encountering stress. This review portrays the potential of PGPF as an effective bioagent to facilitate and promote crop production, plant growth, resistance to disease invasion, and various abiotic stresses.

“…At the same time, the rapid growth of the world population is leading to an exponential increase in the demand not only for new houses and infrastructures but also for food and energy resources, accelerating the growth of the agri-food industries. On the other hand, such massive production generates, once again, huge quantities of food waste-estimated to reach 2.6 million tons by 2025 globally [8]-whose treatment and disposal is often complicated and shows enormous environmental footprints, apart from the potential risk for the environment and humans caused by the decomposition of the organic matter [9]. Hence, a wiser and more careful waste management can lead to a considerable reduction in the environmental impact, a significant financial saving, and-moreover-an improved circular economy (CE) [10,11], thus providing a valid alternative to the usual disposal in landfill [12,13].…”

Recycling Mussel Shells as Secondary Sources in Green Construction Materials: A Preliminary Assessment

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper reports the development of novel green bio-composite mortars obtained by reusing mussel shells, a waste from the fish canning industry, as recycled aggregate, used for the first time in total substitution to the traditional sand. It suggests that this is a valid alternative to their usual disposal in landfills because the organic matter is potentially dangerous to humans and the environment. Different waste-based cementitious mixes were tested and compared to a traditional OPC mortar. The manufacturing process was performed at ambient conditions (20 °C, 65% RH) with highly sustainable results and consisted of simple operative steps reproducible in a real building site. The engineering performance was investigated to preliminarily assess the novel material potentials in construction. The main results showed that recycling mussel shells as aggregate while considerably decreasing the mechanical resistance (up to 60% in bending and 50% in compression), mixes could still find proper building applications (either structural, light partition, and plastering) according to the relevant standards. Moreover, the bulk density resulted up to 30% lower and the energy behavior was improved up to 40%, making the developed mortars highly suitable for promising energy-saving uses. Finally, the waste recycling about halves the materials cost and could also grant further financial saving for the fish industry. To conclude, the large amount of reused bio-waste not only represents a valid alternative to their usual disposal in landfills, but also makes the considered mortars suitable for building applications and promising candidates for the Minimum Environmental Criteria certification, in light of the EU Green Transition, and in line with the principles of the circular economy.
