description This Reprint collects contributions focused on innovative and sustainable processes for the valorization of agri-food waste within the framework of the circular economy. Agriculture and food production generate large quantities of residues, including crop by-products, food processing waste, and surplus or expired food materials. The articles included in this Reprint explore strategies to transform these resources into value-added products rather than treating them as waste. The published works address a wide range of applications, such as biodegradable materials, biocomposites, textiles, nutraceuticals, animal feed, and sustainable agricultural inputs. Particular attention is given to emerging and hybrid technologies that enable the conversion of residual biomass into functional products, helping to bridge the gap between waste generation and resource recovery. Overall, this Reprint highlights technological solutions aimed at improving resource efficiency, reducing environmental impacts, and supporting more sustainable agricultural and agri-food systems. The collected studies provide an overview of current advances and future perspectives in waste biomass valorization, contributing to the development of circular and environmentally responsible practices.
