Transforming Agro-Industrial Byproducts into Innovative Materials: The Case of the Wine Industry
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.36790/epistemus.v19i38.402Keywords:
materials, by-products, valorization, wine industryAbstract
The problem of plastic pollution stands out as one of the most pressing challenges that society must face. In response to this concern, innovative solutions have been implemented by using agro-industrial byproducts to create materials that, while similar in properties to conventional plastics, could offer significant environmental benefits. This article examines the current state of by-products generated by the wine industry and proposes their valorization as a necessary strategy to create value-added biodegradable materials, with the aim of promoting the circular bioeconomy and significantly reducing dependence on conventional plastic, thus contributing to the mitigation of environmental impact.
