Uses of Wheat:
1. Animal feed: A portion of wheat production is allocated for animal feed, particularly for poultry and livestock. Wheat middling's, a byproduct of flour milling, are commonly used in animal feed due to their high protein content.
2. Biofuel: Wheat can be used to produce ethanol, a biofuel that can replace or supplement gasoline. In 2020, around 5% of global wheat production was dedicated to ethanol production.
3. Bioplastics: Wheat straw and chaff can be used as a raw material to create biodegradable plastics. These bioplastics offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
4. Paper production: Wheat straw can be used in paper production as an alternative to wood pulp. This helps reduce deforestation and contributes to more sustainable paper production.
5. Construction materials: Wheat straw can be processed into building materials like straw bale and particleboard. These materials offer insulation, soundproofing, and environmental benefits compared to conventional construction materials.
6. Industrial absorbents: Wheat straw and chaff can be used as absorbent materials for oil spills and other industrial applications. They provide a natural and cost-effective alternative to synthetic absorbents.
