Multi-round Recycling of Green Waste for the Production of Silver Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Activity.

ABSTRACT: Due to the limitations of conventional synthesis and the growing utilization of nanoparticles, recent efforts have shifted to green approaches such as utilizing plant waste extracts. A novel initiative to repurpose household and agricultural green waste for the generation of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) offers a sustainable, low-cost alternative that addresses environmental and economic concerns. In this context, we aimed to evaluate the multi-round recyclability of (CA), green tea (GT), and Virginia creeper (VC) waste for AgNP production, then conduct a comprehensive physicochemical and bioactivity characterization of the nanoparticles. The study was designed to prepare AgNPs using waste from CA, GT, and VC generated by one, two, and three rounds of leftover extractions, then the obtained
