Abstract The growing demand for cellulose-based products has raised concerns about deforestation, prompting the search for sustainable alternatives. This study explores the extraction and characterization of cellulose from sugarcane bagasse and rice husk, both of which serve as abundant agricultural residues. The results demonstrated that sugarcane bagasse and rice husk yielded high-purity cellulose, highlighting their potential as eco-friendly alternatives to wood-derived cellulose. The extracted cellulose is suitable for paper production and other applications, including pharmaceuticals, food additives, and biodegradable packaging. Additionally, functionalized cellulose composites embedded with silver nanoparticles offer potential for antimicrobial applications in the medical and packaging industries. A pilot-scale process for the production of paper from the extracted cellulose was carried out, with the paper subjected to assessments of strength, flexibility, and utility (wettability, ink retention etc.). This research highlights the importance of utilizing agricultural residues in cellulose production, thereby contributing to environmental sustainability and promoting circular economy practices.
