Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste poses a significant environmental challenge, highlighting the need for sustainable valorization strategies. This study presents green synthesis approach silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using walnut septum waste, an underutilized bioactive-rich by-product. Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry confirmed AgNP formation with characteristic surface plasmon resonance band at 407 nm. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy revealed spherical, crystalline AgNPs (26–27 nm) stability over 3 months. antibacterial efficacy these was assessed against Gram-positive ( Bacillus subtilis , Staphylococcus aureus ) Gram-negative Escherichia coli Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria broth microdilution method. exhibited strong activity, minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 31.25 to 62.5 µg·mL −1 demonstrating superior effectiveness compared unprocessed extract. These findings highlight dual benefits repurposing nanomaterial while offering eco-friendly alternative chemically synthesized nanoparticles. results support potential biomedical applications in antimicrobial coatings, wound dressings, food preservation, water purification. provides sustainable, cost-effective, scalable method production, contributing nanotechnology solid management.

Sustainability in bio-based edible films, coatings, and packaging integrates environmental, economic, social sustainability using renewable resources. These materials offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics can extend the shelf life of fruits. The wine industry’s by-products, rich bioactive compounds, create films coatings. However, some challenges limitations may occur. Producing coatings on a commercial scale be challenging, requiring significant investment research development. While many benefits, they not always match synthetic plastics’ mechanical strength barrier properties. ongoing is actively working improve functionality durability these materials, offering hope for future. Bio-based more expensive produce than conventional plastics, which limit their widespread adoption without economic incentives or subsidies. Therefore, this review, aims provide literature review about challenges, prospects offered packaging, particularly small fruits grapevine important field.
