Through utilizing agricultural waste such as rice husks, our research is a step forward towards green chemistry that enables the development of bio-filler for footwear soles which can reduce petrochemicals usage from TPR composite and polymeric wastes. This upcycle method avoids environmental risk which also direct to a circular economy.

Researchers have developed a bio-filler for footwear soles using agricultural waste like rice husks, advancing green chemistry by reducing reliance on petrochemicals in TPR composites. This upcycling approach minimizes environmental impact and supports a circular economy.
