3D-printed sustainable biocomposites via valorization of biomass: focus on challenges and their future perspectives.
Review in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ineffective management of plastic wastes and biomass is a global concern. The annual generation of plastic waste is around 380 million tonnes, with only 9% being recycled, and the production of biomass is 140 billion metric tonnes. The worry of the environment and demand for sustainability has triggered the configuration of biocomposites as an alternative to conventional materials. 3D printing is a promising technique for the manufacturing of polymer-based composites. The review has integrated 3D printing, utilization of biopolymers, and biomass. The work critically reviewed the various aspects of biocomposites. The characteristics of biocomposites, including processing, fabrication techniques, 3D printing parameters, environmental degradation, and applications, are discussed. The allied works on biocomposites are summarized. The challenges and opportunities of biocomposites are identified. In essence, the review encapsulates the transformative potential of 3D printing with biodegradable plastics and biomass for advancements of biocomposites and accentuates its potential in fostering sustainability. The review has revealed that 3D-printed biocomposites are potent for diverse engineering applications. The biocomposites are economical and eco-friendly and reduce energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases. The biomass-based 3D-printed biocomposites have shown comparable mechanical properties to traditional materials. The review revealed that different printing parameters substantially influence the strength, flexibility, crystallinity, and dimensional accuracy of printed parts. The optimization of 3D printing parameters is crucial for the improvement of performance. Biocomposites can overcome the challenges of the linear economy by transforming the wastes into valuable resources.
