This study focuses on the process of isolating cellulose from organic waste material and using it with red mud to create nanocomposites, with an emphasis on possible uses. After extraction, red mud is used as a reinforcing filler, and cellulose is added to nanocomposites using a simple synthesis technique. Red mud is a byproduct of refining alumina and has special qualities, such as large surface area and mineral content, that make it appropriate for use in nanocomposite applications. Red mud and cellulose work together to provide improved mechanical, thermal, and barrier qualities in the resultant nanocomposites. We also investigate several possible uses for these cellulose-based nanocomposites, from biomedical devices to packaging materials. Using cellulose made from organic waste not only increases the value of an otherwise underused resource but also helps to lower pollution levels in the environment. Additionally, red mud's integration into nanocomposites reduces the environmental effect of its storage while providing a sustainable method of disposal. Overall, this study emphasizes the viability and sustainability of using red mud and cellulose from organic waste to create nanocomposites, as well as the prospective uses of these materials in a variety of disciplines. By supporting further efforts to manage waste and use resources sustainably, this study opens the door for the creation of environmentally friendly materials with useful uses.
