Abstract

The medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) industries generate a substantial amount of waste and residues during the production of many important and useful products. If not effectively managed, these wastes can lead to environmental pollution and economic challenges. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the use of these waste materials to create value-added products. One such method is vermicomposting which converts MAP wastes into vermicompost and offers numerous benefits for agricultural applications. Vermicompost serves as an organic fertilizer that improves soil health and fertility while reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. This comprehensive review explores the management of residual waste released from the MAPs industries, focusing on their conversion into vermicompost and their subsequent application in the agriculture sector. The waste generated during the extraction of essential oils from MAPs is also discussed along with the importance of implementing eco-friendly waste management solutions. Overall, this review sheds light on the production of MAP wastes, problems generated and the possible solutions for their environmental friendly management.

释放药用和芳香植物废物的潜力，特别是考虑蚯蚓堆肥：文献综述

药用和芳香植物（MAPs）产业在生产许多重要和有用产品的过程中会产生大量废物和残留物。如果不加以有效管理，这些废物可能会导致环境污染和经济挑战。近年来，人们越来越重视利用这些废料创造增值产品。蚯蚓堆肥就是其中一种方法，它能将 MAP 废弃物转化为蚯蚓堆肥，并为农业应用带来诸多益处。蚯蚓堆肥是一种有机肥料，可改善土壤健康和肥力，同时减少对化肥的需求。本综述探讨了 MAPs 工业所产生的残余废物的管理问题，重点是将其转化为蛭肥以及随后在农业部门的应用。此外，还讨论了从 MAPs 中提取精油过程中产生的废物，以及实施生态友好型废物管理解决方案的重要性。总之，本综述揭示了 MAP 废弃物的生产、产生的问题及其环境友好型管理的可能解决方案。
