Activated carbon is usually derived from waste products such as coconut husks in addition to other agricultural wastes like olive stones, rice husks and nutshells which are being upcycled into activated carbon, diversifying feedstock supply. Waste from paper mills has been studied as a possible source of activated carbon. These bulk sources are converted into charcoal before being activated. Using waste streams not only reduces landfill burden but also works to lower the overall carbon footprint
