These biorefineries help mitigate the significant problem of food waste, which is a major environmental challenge, by turning this waste into valuable products, thereby reducing the volume of the waste discarded into landfills and decreasing emissions of carbon dioxide and methane, potent greenhouse gases. In addition, recycling food waste through biorefineries conserves natural resources and minimizes the environmental impact associated with the production and processing of raw materials, thus contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy (CE). %~ Universidad de Cádiz
