The transformation of agricultural waste into eco-friendly, lightweight, durable, and biodegradable composite materials supports sustainable production processes and presents new opportunities as alternatives to traditional materials. These composites offer significant advantages, particularly in terms of energy savings, low cost, and minimizing environmental impact. Widely used in industrial applications, these composites contribute to sustainable development goals by serving as insulation materials in construction, interior components and body panels in the automotive industry, biodegradable packaging materials, decorative elements and outdoor furniture in the furniture industry, and plant pots and mulch in agriculture. The broader adoption of agricultural waste-based composites in industrial applications not only offers potential solutions to waste management challenges but also represents a critical step toward enhancing environmental sustainability. This study aims to examine the potential of agricultural waste-based composite materials across various industrial applications. Within this scope, the uses of biodegradable composite materials, recycled from agricultural waste, are detailed across sectors such as construction, automotive, packaging, furniture, and agriculture.
