ABSTRACT
Bioactive compounds abundant in agricultural residues utilized as a raw material in industries for the manufacture of various goods such as biogas, biofuel, secondary metabolites and value-added products. The utilization of agro-industrial wastes can lower manufacturing costs as well as lower pollution in the environment. Biofuels, enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants, animal feed, antibiotics, and other compounds are made from agro-industrial waste. It is critical to think of ‘trash' as a precious ‘resource' that may be transformed into a range of useful items. This process of converting garbage into a product that can be used in everyday life might be considered a wealth-generating activity. As a result, the phrase ‘Waste to Wealth' was coined. The concept of waste to wealth has indeed been utilized to address the environmental problem by shifting the traditional perception of garbage as a finished product to be discarded. Raising environmental awareness and converting it into potential profit has been a major source of contention across the world for a circular bioeconomy, and a potential to provide micro-entrepreneurship opportunity.
