The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the nanotechnology sector is rapidly increasing due to their distinct characteristics and vast application potential. Large-scale preparation of these nanostructures is either prohibitive or, in some cases, environmentally unfavorable. Numerous studies have been conducted in this field to develop novel approaches for producing CNTs that are savious and cost-effective. This review briefly describes the synthesis, characterization methods, and uses of CNTs from scrap materials. The utilization of waste materials not only addresses environmental concerns but also contributes to the circular economy by repurposing otherwise discarded resources. This eco-friendly approach has several benefits for human health and the environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
