This article discusses the major problem of managing municipal solid waste, emphasizing the need to promote organic products and providing details on the characteristics and composition of biomass and solid waste. It also explores the technologies and products obtained through bio routes, along with the integrated system of solid waste management.
Humanity is struggling against a major problem for a proper management of generated municipal solid waste. The collected waste causes natural issues like uncontrollable emission of greenhouse gases and others. Even though, escalation of waste results in minimizing the areas accessible for disposing the waste. Creating awareness in the society to use organic products like biofuels, biofertilizers and biogas is a need of an hour. Biochemical processes such as composting, vermicomposting, anaerobic digestion, and landfilling play important role in valorizing biomass and solid waste for production of biofuels, biosurfactants and biopolymer. This paper covers the details of biomass and solid waste characteristics and its composition. It is also focused to provide updated information about reutilization of biomass for value creation. Technologies and products obtained through bioroutes are discussed in current review paper together with the integrated system of solid waste management. It also covers challenges, innovations and perspectives in this field.
