Abstract:
The worsening of our environment followed by the necessity of energy security are prominently noted to be the fundamental perspectives associated with the fossil-based linear economy. However, the constant efforts by the scientific community in this regard result in the emergence of a prominent view targeting the transformation towards the sustainable circular bio-economy where green waste is being valorized for the protection of the environment. The green waste formed in our surroundings can be taken as a prospective feedstock for various energy forms. However, the studies concerning the bioengineering inferences focusing on the conversion of waste to energy with special inference on tackling emerging pollutants are found to be comparatively scanty in the current scenario, and which justified the uniqueness of the major views reviewed in this study. For this reason, the recent trends directed the scientific community to explore the various advanced perspectives concerning the health of the environment and emerging pollutants in context with waste valorization strategies. Such efforts may also direct the researchers to integrate various biological, thermal, mechanical and chemical management strategies for better environmental health. management strategies for better environmental health. The practical implementation of various approaches from a circular bioeconomic perspective could open the way for the production of valuable nanomaterials, biobased polymer, electrode materials, enzymes, nutrients, bioplastics, biodiesel, biogas and bioethanol. The current articles review the various strategies in biowaste valorization in context with the sustainable economy through green waste valorization and tackling emerging pollutants.
