The food industry is one of the key sectors that provides vital products. However, its activities generate significant volumes of waste. These wastes, if not processed properly, pose a serious threat to the environment and human health. Insufficient handling of them leads to soil, water resources, and air pollution, as well as the loss of valuable resources. The implementation of innovative solutions for food industry waste processing is critically important for the sustainable development of enterprises and the preservation of ecological balance. Modern technologies offer effective methods for transforming these wastes into valuable products.
The relevance of this topic is reinforced by growing demands for corporate environmental responsibility and the continuous search for ways to optimize production processes. Innovative approaches allow not only to reduce the volume of waste going to landfills but also to generate additional revenue streams. They transform by-products into raw materials for other industries, for example, for the production of biofuels, animal feed, organic fertilizers, or bioac
