Escalating environmental concerns and the depletion of non-renewable resources have intensified interest in sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Cellulose-based hydrogels, renowned for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and excellent mechanical properties, have emerged as promising candidates for diverse applications, including biomedicine, agriculture, and water purification. This review focuses on methods for extracting nanocellulose from agricultural wastes and their use in creating cellulose hydrogels. Special emphasis is placed on the mechanical, chemical, thermal, and environmental properties of nanocellulose, as well as its applications in packaging materials, medical devices, biocomposites, and filtration systems. The literature review examines cellulose extraction methods, hydrogel properties, and their industrial applications. The key advantages and disadvantages of these methods are identified, and directions for future research are proposed. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on cellulose-based hydrogels and contributes to the development of more efficient and sustainable production methods for these materials.
