Biological wastes generated from food and fruit processing industries, municipal markets, and water treatment facilities are a major cause of concern for Health Departments and Environmentalists around the world. Conventional means of managing these wastes such as transportation, treatment, and disposal, are proving uneconomical. The need is to develop green and sustainable technologies to circumvent this ever-growing and persistent problem. In this article, the potential of diverse microbes to metabolize complex organic rich biowastes into a variety of bioactive compounds with diverse biotechnological applications have been presented. An integrated strategy has been proposed that can be commercially exploited for the recovery of value-adding products ranging from bioactive compounds, chemical building blocks, energy rich chemicals, biopolymers and materials, which results in a self-sustaining circular bioeconomy with nearly zero waste generation and complete degradation.
