Abstract
Purpose of Review
This review aims to critically assess contemporary challenges and prospective avenues in the sustainable handling and management of organic waste (OW), elucidating its environmental ramifications and exploring techno-economic perspectives. Reviewing current knowledge is synthesized to provide insights that will help develop innovative strategies and policies. These strategies and policies foster a holistic approach to mitigating the environmental impacts associated with OW while also addressing economic issues.
Recent Findings
The imperative of integrating advanced technologies and holistic environmental considerations into OW management is underscored by recent findings. Environmental footprints can be minimized through innovations such as decentralized processing systems. Further, understanding techno-economic dynamics reveals the potential for sustainable practices, indicating a shift towards circular economies. By integrating environmental and economic aspects of OW management, we can enhance waste management strategies.
Summary
The focus of this review is the significance of OW generation and management, including agricultural, municipal, and green sources, as well as microbial treatment platforms as a critical factor. The report discusses the benefits of anaerobic digestion and composting in OW treatment and the advantages of biotransformation in sustainable waste management through biofuel and biofertilizer (BioF) production. To maximize OW potential as a valuable resource for sustainable development, the review integrates environmental concerns with techno-economic perspectives. To unlock the full potential of OW as a valuable resource in sustainable development, this review addresses barriers. It advances future directions in OW handling and management by integrating environmental considerations with techno-economic perspectives.
