The solid and liquid wastes generated from cassava-based industries are organic and acidic in nature, which leads to various global concerns-primarily global warming and biodiversity loss. But the conversion of these wastes into value-added products associated with environmental pollution control contributes to sustainable development. Generally, the thermochemical process such as pyrolysis and gasification and biochemical processes such as anaerobic digestion have been applied for the conversion of cassava waste into value-added products. This review addresses the valorization of cassava wastes, which fulfill almost all needs of the hour, such as energy (biofuel), wastewater treatment (adsorbents), bioplastics, starch nanoparticles, organic acid production, and antimicrobial agents. The major aim of this paper is to analyze and provide the disclosure of the efficiency of cassava-based industrial waste as a source to minimize the problem associated with conventional fossil fuels and through which mitigate the impact of global warming and climate change. Furthermore, recent research and achievements in the valorization of cassava waste have been highlighted.
木薯基产业产生的固体和液体废弃物具有有机酸性，这引发了各种全球性关注，主要是全球变暖以及生物多样性丧失。但将这些废弃物转化为与环境污染控制相关的增值产品有助于可持续发展。通常，热化学过程（如热解和气化）和生物化学过程（如厌氧消化）已被应用于将木薯废物转化为增值产品。本综述探讨了木薯废物的增值利用，这些废物几乎可以满足所有当前的需求，例如能源（生物燃料）、废水处理（吸附剂）、生物塑料、淀粉纳米颗粒、有机酸生产和抗菌剂。本文的主要目的是分析并揭示以木薯基产业废物为资源的效率，以最小化与传统化石燃料相关的问题，并通过减少全球变暖及气候变化的影响。此外，本文还强调了木薯废物增值利用方面的最新研究进展和成果。
