Fruit-derived nanofactories are futuristic industries for sustainable development with a promising greener outlook. The forward thinking to embrace them as valuable nexus for nanoparticle phytosyntheis by intertwining circular economy and zero waste culture; in turn integrates green chemistry and sustainability principles via transforming fruit waste into cutting-edge nanomaterials. This study adopts an integrated peel valorization approach for total biomass valorization of fruit peels of Musa balbisiana var elavazhai by waste to value conversion pathway. Its aqueous extract is utilized as a universal bioreductant for green synthesis of Ag and Au nanoparticle, while its post extraction solid residue is repurposed into sustainable biocomposite films. The bio-agumented AgNPs (AgNP-MB) were spherical with a particle size of 22.42 nm (FE-SEM), monodisperse with a PDI of 0.407 (DLS), crystalline with an average crystal size of 20.74 nm (XRD) and showcased SPR peak at 432 nm (UV-Vis). FTIR analysis depicted the potential phytochemicals that acted as capping and reducing agents during AgNP biosynthesis. They were effective in degrading water-soluble organic dyes (MO & MB) with an efficiency of 97% and 85% via pseudo first-order kinetics. This integrated zero waste model advocates the generic value of fruit peels, by linking high performance nanocatalysis with sustainable material fabrication for environmental remediation.
