Abstract

The term “environmental biotechnology” has been coined to describe the use of biological systems, ranging from bacteria to plants, to achieve environmental remediation, pollution prevention, detection, and monitoring of contaminants, and more recently transforming waste to produce energy, biopolymers, and other benefits. Latin-American countries have a privileged location to develop ingenious and sustainable alternatives in environmental biotechnology. An advantage to do innovation in tropics is their biodiversity. Useful compounds can be produced in laboratory settings and/or full-scale operations. However, waste (solid, liquid, or gaseous) released into natural and confined (end of pipes) environments are normally mixtures of different chemical compounds and often microorganisms are part of this waste. Waste valorization can conduce to obtain more rentable by-products in bioremediation. To conduct the bioremediation join to valorization, many processes need to be implemented. Coupled biological processes can increase the efficiency and value to end products. In this chapter, different alternatives to valorize organic wastes under the anaerobic digestion-based biorefinery concept were reviewed. Advantages and challenges of developing countries to use environmental biotechnology and to solve waste problems were also analyzed.
