Abstract

Biowastes, an outcome of burgeoning population, urbanization, consumerism and relentless industrialization has led to degradation of the environment and became a matter of concern for the entire globe. Therefore, strategies are being adopted to enable a sustainable utilization of waste biomass and diminish the environmental burden. Waste valorization is one of the emerging concepts that results in the transformation of waste into value-added products by promoting recyclability, technologies and sustainable livelihoods. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a naturally occurring value-added nanomaterial produced as exopolysaccharides by bacteria,  and is found abundantly in almost all types of biowastes. On account of importance of waste valorization and circular economy, this paper reviews the characteristics, structure and extraction of BC from the bacterial communities utilising different sources, e.g., municipal wastes, paper mills, animal wastes, biorefineries, agro-industrial sources, etc. It also describes the applications of BC to diverse fields while promoting environmental sustainability.
