This review synthesizes how plastic, industrial, and agricultural wastes can be converted into high-performance carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon quantum dots. It shows that tuning synthesis conditions enables predictable control of structure, morphology, and surface chemistry, which underpins conductivity and surface-area advantages crucial for electrochemical sensors and ultra-low detection limits.

Sundramoorthy  *  \nThe unparalleled global surge in waste generation necessitates a revolutionary shift toward the circular economy, simultaneously addressing resource depletion and environmental remediation. This review highlights the critical role of various waste materials, such as plastic waste, industrial waste, and agricultural waste, used for the synthesis of nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon quantum dots, as versatile, high-performance precursors for advanced technology. Specifically, we demonstrate how precise tuning of synthesis enables predictable control over the final material's structural, morphological, and surface properties. These characteristics, such as high conductivity and specific surface area, are essential for their remarkable performance in key electrochemical domains. This review emphasizes the impact of waste-derived carbon nanomaterials on electrochemical sensors, where they enhance detection sensitivity and selectivity to achieve ultra-low limits across environmental and biomedical applications. Finally, we addressed the pressing challenges of the field, including the  \n\n| Centre for Nano-Biosensors, Department of Prosthodontics and Materials Science, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and | Technical Sciences, Saveetha [gmail.com](gmail.com) | University, India.
