Sustainable synthesis of metal-organic frameworks and their derived materials from organic and inorganic wastes

•Sustainable synthesis of MOFs and their derived materials from wastes.•PET waste was used as a BDC precursor for the synthesis of MOFs.•Metallic and inorganic wastes were explored as metal sources for MOF synthesis.•Coupling of organic and inorganic wastes for the generation of MOFs.•MOFs with enhanced properties were obtained from organic and inorganic wastes.
