Fruit peel waste-to-wealth: Bionanomaterials production and their applications in agroecosystems

Abstract Plants are creatures that are very unique and can contribute to many scientific fields. There was, and still was, an enormous need to use plants to reduce or eliminate the use of the chemicals. Every single part of these plants even their wastes are beneficial. As a result, the term green chemistry appeared toward nanoparticles development and their applications. Recycling waste from plants to have an environment that is environmentally friendly, as well. This can be approached via various applications that will be reported in this review. Biosynthesizing is the field where the plant extract is used without any chemical ingredients to synthesize the nanoparticles. These nanoparticles will be contamination-free and have a well-defined size and morphology. Various valuable nanoparticles such as gold, silver, carbon, copper, silica, chitosan, titanium dioxide, and zinc can be obtained from fruit peels. In this review, we are reporting the usage of fruit peel waste from different horticulture crops for synthesis some bionanomaterials.
