Abstract
Uncontrolled dumping of agricultural wastes is a cause of concern for the well-being of the environment. Nanotechnology has gained research popularity due to its beneficial applications. Nowadays the separation of nanocellulose from different agricultural wastes is explored in an increasing measure. Agricultural wastes are subjected to various treatments to extract nanocellulose. Nanocellulose extracted from agricultural wastes can be used in the preparation of biodegradable nanocellulose-based materials (for various applications) which are environment-friendly and can promote sustainable economic growth by ensuring the good usage of agricultural wastes.Keywords
