The study reports on the valorization of municipal grass waste (MGW) for the extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), as an eco-friendly and sustainable low-cost precursor for cellulose nanomaterial production. The raw MGW was subjected to boiling in water pretreatment, and alkali and bleaching...
