The document summarizes research being conducted on developing sustainable biobased composite products from agricultural waste. It provides background on rising plastic production and environmental issues. The research aims to create value-added industrial biocomposite materials and products from agricultural biomass like maize stalks and sugarcane bagasse. Researchers are developing biodegradable green composites for applications like packaging by optimizing materials like PLA reinforced with cellulose fibers extracted from biomass. The research will support South Africa's industrial sectors and address waste management challenges through creating green jobs and turning waste into profit.
