Transforming Wastes into High Value-Added Products: An Introduction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biopolymers

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

Waste from various industries and human activities harms the environment, it is being accumulated rapidly due to its slow and improper management. Disposal of waste in landfills is a threat to the environment. Research interest in waste streams valorization is stimulated because of the disposal problems. Researchers are focusing on transforming the waste into useful products as it will help in waste management and also it will help in reducing environmental pollution. Waste from food industries is a reservoir of complex proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and can be used as raw material for the production of valuable metabolites. Such waste can be transformed into various high-value-added products such as biofuels, enzymes, biopolymers, biochemicals, and many other molecules. For the production of biopolymers, waste from many industries such as agriculture, dairy, meat, and seafood have great potential as primary and secondary feedstocks. Although for biomaterials production, different types of wastes can be used as substrates, currently, agro-industrial wastes are gaining more attention as it has a high rate of production worldwide. As global environmental pollution is increasing day by day due to synthetic plastics production, it has become essential to develop bio-based polymers. The biopolymers production from inexhaustible resources and microbial synthesis are facile, scalable, and are comparatively more eco-friendly than chemical synthesis methods that depend upon acid and alkali treatment or blending of co-polymer. In this review, we have discussed the transformation of waste into biopolymers, technologies for extraction and production, and their further applications.
