AB  - The proper disposal of disposable synthetic plastic food packaging materials 
      presents a significant challenge for both the environment and the solid waste 
      management community. To address this issue, an antibacterial-based high-strength 
      bio-composite serves as the optimal alternative to conventional packaging 
      materials. This study aims to produce a hybrid material of AgNPs-carboxyl 
      cellulose nanocrystals (AgNPs-CCNCs), obtained from used egg carton boxes 
      (UECBs), through bio acid hydrolysis and an in-situ generation process. 
      Furthermore, AgNPs- carboxyl cellulose nanofibers (AgNPs-CCNFs) will be 
      synthesized through a combination of bio acid hydrolysis and ball milling, 
      followed by an additional in-situ generation step. The AgNPs-carboxyl 
      nanocellulose (AgNPs-CCNCs, and AgNPs-CCNFs) exhibited excellent crystallinity 
      index, morphology, thermal, and antibacterial properties. The morphological 
      analysis was performed by electron microscopy, and the results showed the uniform 
      distribution and spherical form of AgNPs appearing over the carboxyl 
      nanocellulose through the in-situ generation process, which was confirmed through 
      XRD analysis. The study further explores the impact of AgNPs-carboxyl 
      nanocellulose on the mechanical, chemical, antibacterial, and thermal properties 
      of the PVA matrix. The results demonstrate that the bio-nanocomposite film offers 
      opportunities for utilization in active packaging applications.
