Apart from alcohol, the rest part of the sanitizer and spray belongs to colors, water, preservatives therefore some medicinal plants are added to the formulation because of their antimicrobial property. The study, therefore, aims to analyze medicinal plant extract utilized in hand sanitizer and spray, its composition, and its manufacturer too. The hand sanitizer and spray were gathered from various sources and their manufacturers, the composition of medicinal plant extract was noted down. The present study finds 63% of sanitizer and spray uses medicinal plants in their composition. Medicinal plant-based hand sanitizer and spray manufactured all over the country in which pharmaceutical, personal care, and cosmetics, herbal product-based companies and industries are the largest producer. A total of 19 medicinal plants were recorded in which Azadirachta indica and Alove barbadensis were most commonly used. The composition of hand sanitizer and spray medicinal plant extracts included around 0.15 to 0.20% of the total. The study concluded that the use of medicinal plant extract in hand sanitizer and spray is encouraging and antiviral potential medicinal plants are incorporated in the formulation. The use of Alove barbadensis also protects moisture and avoids the dehydration caused by alcohol. Therefore the study will be helpful to aware the peoples and manufacturing industries for the use of hand sanitizer and spray based on medicinal plants.

A large amount of waste has been reported in municipalities (households, markets, food courts, and ceremonies), the agriculture sector, food-based industries and airports. Food wastage involves economic losses and entails the use of resources and has an environmental impact that could be avoided by educating society in environmental values and looking for new revalorization strategies. Food waste contains organic matter in a rich amount which depends on the type of waste such as oils, fruits, agro-industrial waste, bakery, dairy, meat etc. A number of strategies are applied for the management of food waste such as recycling, bioconversion, animal feed etc. Among them microbial bioconversion is now becoming popular. It employs a biochemical process in which organic waste is converted into manure that improves soil quality while taking part in the sustainable development of society and contributing to our environment. Some bacteria, fungi, and actinomycete fermentations have been described to perform this upcycling since they present many advantages such as ease, safety, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and a rapid process. A microbial bio-converted fertilizer also meets quality and safety which enhances the growth of crops. Therefore, the present work aims to present the sources and types of food waste, recent food waste scenarios around the world, the diversity of microbes that convert food waste to fertilizers, the mechanism of bioconversion, and the use of the converted fertilizer. Sustainability spotlight Food waste is a matter of concern in our society. In this context, the use of microbial capacity to decompose organic matter is a very vibrant technique to valorize food waste. Several sources and types of food waste such as waste cooking oils, agro-industrial wastes such as vegetables, fruit, juice, wheat, rice, potato, sugarcane, bakery waste, dairy waste and different types of meat, sh and poultry wastes have been proven to be protable sources for their use for bioconversion. And some bacteria, fungi, and actinomycete fermentations have been described to perform this upcycling since they present many advantages such as ease, safety, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and a rapid process.
