ABSTRACT
The agri-food industry is a source of various substrates - plants as well as plant and animal residues or waste, which can be recycled. Determining the yield of agri-food waste processing products that can be obtained from them, as well as estimating the local availability of a given raw material allows for the selection of appropriate substrates that guarantee both their effective production and their continuous supply. The presented article includes a review of scientific reports on the acquisition of bioactive substances, substrates for the production of activated carbon and materials for use in construction from waste from the agri-food industry. Moreover, the article discusses the economic aspects of agri-food waste in terms of bioeconomy.
