Abstract
The rise in universal population and accompanying demands have directed toward an exponential surge in the generation of polymeric waste. The estimate predicts that world-wide plastic production will rise to ≈590 million metric tons by 2050, whereas 5000 million more tires will be routinely abandoned by 2030. Handling this waste and its detrimental consequences on the Earth's ecosystem and human health presents a significant challenge. Converting the wastes into carbon-based functional materials viz. activated carbon, graphene, and nanotubes is considered the most scientific and adaptable method. Herein, this world provides an overview of the various sources of polymeric wastes, modes of build-up, impact on the environment, and management approaches. Update on advances and novel modifications made in methodologies for converting diverse types of polymeric wastes into carbon nanomaterials over the last 5 years are given. A remarkable focus is made to comprehend the applications of polymeric waste-derived carbon nanomaterials (PWDCNMs) in the CO2 capture, removal of heavy metal ions, supercapacitor-based energy storage and water splitting with an emphasis on the correlation between PWDCNMs' properties and their performances. This review offers insights into emerging developments in the upcycling of polymeric wastes and their applications in environment and energy.

Abstract
This work reports an efficient method for facile synthesis of hierarchically porous carbon (WB-AC) utilizing wheat bran waste. Obtained carbon showed 2.47 mmol g-1 CO2 capture capacity with good CO2 /N2 selectivity and 27.35 to 29.90 kJ mol-1 isosteric heat of adsorption. Rapid removal of MO dye was observed with a capacity of ~555 mg g-1 . Moreover, WB-AC demonstrated a good OER activity with 0.35 V low overpotential at 5 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 115 mV dec-1 . It also exhibited high electrocatalytic HER activity with 57 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 82.6 mV dec-1 . The large SSA (757 m2 g-1 ) and total pore volume (0.3696 cm3 g-1 ) result from N2 activation contributing to selective CO2 uptake, high and rapid dye removal capacity and superior electrochemical activity (OER/HER), suggesting the use of WB-AC as cost effective adsorbent and metal free electrocatalyst.
