Intertwined Sustainability: Integrating Unconventional Materials for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

This paper deals with the latent potential of unconventional and underutilized materials such as bamboo and stubble to fill critical gaps in the sustainable development paradigm, using a robust methodological approach based on realtime data collected by comprehensive surveys conducted among the general public. The research shows a high scarcity of scholarly work on sustainability initiatives and a systematic underrepresentation of various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which obstructs the effective policy forming and industrial adoption. The findings highlight the need for industry adoption to enhance the sustainability efforts through these materials.
