Some current pineapple waste utilization aspects

Abstract

The present paper aimed to briefly review some current aspects regarding the research trends of pineapple waste utilization. Information from new scientific publications was used, systematized and summarized, using the descriptive approach. In the scientific literature, emphasis is placed on the possibilities of circular application of integrated approaches for the valorization of pineapple waste in order to achieve sustainability. Promoting the development of the circular economy and achieving sustainable development are the established emphases in the developments used in this paper. Reducing the total amount of generated waste, limiting the harmful impact on the environment to a minimum, ensuring the safety of users are present as main points both in the current publications, and are emerging as guidelines and directions for future research. The selection and application of appropriate methods for the valorization of pineapple waste is of utmost importance to achieve the sustainable circular goals and principles, respecting and adhering to the ecological trends and aspects in the established and dynamically developing areas of modern integrated and complex management strategies of waste.
