Abstract

Plant-derived biomaterials have emerged as a promising frontier in sustainable biotechnology, offering eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic materials. These biomaterials, sourced from various plant components like cellulose, lignin, and pectin, exhibit a wide range of applications across industries such as medical, environmental, and packaging. Their biodegradable, biocompatible, and renewable properties align with the growing need for sustainable solutions in addressing environmental concerns, reducing waste, and minimizing dependence on fossil fuels. This review explores recent innovations in plant-derived biomaterials, highlighting their synthesis, properties, and potential applications. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges and future directions in optimizing these biomaterials for large-scale production and integration into various industrial processes. The development of plant-based biomaterials not only represents a critical step toward sustainable biotechnological practices but also fosters innovation in creating more environmentally responsible technologies.
