“…In the past decade, poor management of FW has exaggerated the serious issues pertaining to the economy, environment, and society (Li & Yang, 2016). Thus, it is quite obvious that it will not be easier to switch from a well‐established fossil‐based to bioeconomy (Dessie et al, 2020). The environmental harm due to poor FW management approaches such as incineration of FW, composting, using FW as feed for domesticated animals, disposing of the FW in landfills should be minimized as far as possible.…”

Food waste is the outcome of different food processing practices that have not been reused and are disposed of as waste. Food wastes are rich in a wide variety of organic constituents including starches, proteins, oils, fats, phosphates, nutrients, amino acids, and natural acids. Food waste is a zero‐value and nonconsumable resource. In this context, the valorization of food waste to different sorts of biofuels, for example, biodiesel, bioethanol, biohydrogen, bio‐oil, biochar, and biomethane by employing well‐structured and efficient valorization technologies can be an attractive and viable approach to counter the current global energy crisis and in establishing a sustainable bioeconomy. This type of food waste management not only resolves the serious pollution problem but also helps to reduce the dependency of the energy sector on fossil fuels. This review discusses the characteristics of food waste, common strategies for food waste management, food waste as a feedstock, biofuels as a renewable energy source, valorization of food waste to various types of biofuels, microbes‐assisted valorization of food waste, biofuels and bioeconomy, and future scope and challenges in the valorization of food waste to biofuels.

Biomass upgrading is a promising approach to face the current energy consumption and chemicals production. Lignocellulosic biomass residues have taken the lead in this field. In this study, hemp residue-based activated carbons (ACs) were prepared by H3PO4-assisted hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) using a low concentration of H3PO4 (25 wt. %). ACs with a high porosity development were obtained (SBET>1200 m 2 g-1), and they were subsequently functionalized with nitrogen groups using mild conditions. As-synthesized ACs were also heat-treated to enhance the electrical conductivity, improving the electrochemical performance. As a proof of concept, electrochemical capacitors (ECs) based on as-prepared ACs in aqueous and organic electrolytes, showing energy densities comparable to those of a capacitor based on an AC used in commercial capacitors. The most attractive outcome of this study is the straightforward, cost-effective, and sustainable methodology to prepare high added-value functional ACs with great potential for energy and environmental applications.

“…The concept of circular economy (CE) consists of developing economic models that have minimal effects on the environment, ensuring a reduction in natural resource use and waste generation and promoting waste reuse as valuable co-products (Casson Moreno et al 2020). The development of a CE concept requires adopting closed-loop systems, facilitating the transformation from a linear economy to a CE to improve economic and environmental sustainability (Dessie et al 2020;Kaszycki et al 2020). This model can be especially important in Italy, where agriculture is one of the most productive sectors and, at the same time, responsible for generating large amounts of residues with different proprieties (Vahidzadeh et al 2021).…”

Within the circular economy framework, our study aims to assess the rhamnolipid production from winery and olive oil residues as low-cost carbon sources by nonpathogenic strains. After evaluating various agricultural residues from those two sectors, Burkholderia thailandensis E264 was found to use the raw soluble fraction of nonfermented (white) grape marcs (NF), as the sole carbon and energy source, and simultaneously, reducing the surface tension to around 35 mN/m. Interestingly, this strain showed a rhamnolipid production up to 1070 mg/L (13.37 mg/g of NF), with a higher purity, on those grape marcs, predominately Rha-Rha C14-C14, in MSM medium. On olive oil residues, the rhamnolipid yield of using olive mill pomace (OMP) at 2% (w/v) was around 300 mg/L (15 mg/g of OMP) with a similar CMC of 500 mg/L. To the best of our knowledge, our study indicated for the first time that a nonpathogenic bacterium is able to produce long-chain rhamnolipids in MSM medium supplemented with winery residues, as sole carbon and energy source. Key points • Winery and olive oil residues are used for producing long-chain rhamnolipids (RLs). • Both higher RL yields and purity were obtained on nonfermented grape marcs as substrates. • Long-chain RLs revealed stabilities over a wide range of pH, temperatures, and salinities
