The use of waste in the sugar-energy industry is not only an environmental necessity, but also a way of adding value to materials. Residues from sugarcane processing for ethanol and sugar production, which are already generated in significant quantities, are expected to increase considerably in the coming years, with the expansion of sugarcane crops and the implementation of new agroindustrial units. These wastes can be used as raw material for the sustainable production of new products. This chapter will show the main by-products generated in the production and processing of sugarcane and its main products: ethanol and sugar. Also, biorefinery solutions that can be used to harness and create value in the by-products of the sugarcane industry will also be explored. |
