Description
Cassava peel is dumped in huge amounts where the root is processed, yet the peel is rich in plant fiber and starch like compounds. Festus Ben reviews in 2024 how this waste could be turned into useful engineering materials instead of pollution. He gathers studies on fuels, alcohols, and composite materials made from the peel.
The review maps what has been tried, where the proof is thin, and what questions still block wider use. The peel's toughness in harsh settings adds to its appeal as a raw material. Ben argues that fuller use of the peel could cut waste and support greener building and energy practice. He frames the work as a bridge between farm waste and industry.
