A sustainable approach is needed to manage this waste generation for the proper valorization and value addition of food wastes. The fruits and vegetables processing sector generates a large amount of waste, approximately more than 42% of total food wastes. Fruits and vegetable wastes are an ideal substrate for the production of biocomposites. These fruits and vegetable wastes can be utilized as sustainable raw materials to produce biocomposites using green technology that is economical, sustainable, and environment friendly. This chapter focuses on synthesizing biocomposites using fruit and vegetable wastes, their application, and environmental sustainability. � The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.Based biocompositesBiocompositesEco-friendly biocompositesFood wastage footprintFruit and vegetable wasteFruit and vegetable wastesSustainable approachWaste valorizationBook chapterhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-9527-8_16
