The agri-food industry creates a vast amount of waste each year. This
is not just a problem for waste management, in terms of finding space
to store waste and preventing escape of harmful waste into the
environment; it also represents a loss of resources: the chemicals and
energy which have gone into the production of this waste. If current
waste streams can be converted into useful resources this will have
multiple benefits by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill or
similar, reducing the need for other feedstocks and removing the
pressure from feedstocks that could be used as food. Research into the
different types of waste produced by the agri-food industry and
approaches to converting them into useful chemicals or chemical
feedstocks has advanced rapidly over the last few years. Covering the
latest developments in the valorisation of food and agricultural
waste, such as valorisation of citrus peel and industrial wastes, this
book is a great resource for researchers interested in waste
management, sustainability and the circular economy.
