Abstract
Food waste (FW) poses significant risks to the sustainability of our food supply chains and systems. Considerable contributors to waste from the food supply chain include open markets, landfills, and marketplaces. Bio-circular-green (BCG) therefore aims to transform society by turning FW into value-added products using technology and innovation as a sensible solution to the problem of FW. The advancement of creative technologies and alternative agricultural practices have been presented in response to this rising issue. FW valorization provides a huge prospective solution both economically and environmentally. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the valorization of FW into biofuels, biochemicals, biofertilisers, and biopolymers. Current approaches and their challenges for bioprocessing FW to create concepts for BCG, with a focus on its contribution to income production as value-added products are covered. Challenges and constraints together with strategies for overcoming them are also presented along with future perspectives.
