Abstract

The transition toward a sustainable bioeconomy offers a pivotal opportunity for Mexico to mitigate environmental impacts and drive economic growth through the valorization of agro-industrial waste. This review highlights the challenges and opportunities of establishing a waste-based bioeconomy in Mexico, emphasizing the role of advanced technologies and infrastructure in transforming agricultural waste into valuable bioproducts like biofuels, bioplastics, and biochemicals. The paper underscores the necessity for robust policy frameworks and collaborative efforts to address technological, infrastructural, and regulatory barriers. It provides a comparative analysis of circular business models and waste valorization strategies successfully implemented in countries such as Brazil, Chile, and the Mediterranean region, drawing practical insights applicable to Mexico. This review uniquely combines technological, policy, and business model innovations to offer a comprehensive approach to the sustainable development of Mexico's bioeconomy. By navigating these complexities, Mexico can unlock significant economic, environmental, and social benefits, contributing to a more sustainable and prosperous future.

墨西哥生物经济的机遇：农工废弃物的价值评估

向可持续生物经济的转型为墨西哥提供了一个关键机会，通过农用工业废物的价值化来减轻对环境的影响并推动经济增长。本综述强调了在墨西哥建立以废物为基础的生物经济所面临的挑战和机遇，强调了先进技术和基础设施在将农业废物转化为生物燃料、生物塑料和生物化学品等有价值的生物产品方面所发挥的作用。该文件强调，必须制定强有力的政策框架并开展合作，以解决技术、基础设施和监管方面的障碍。本文对巴西、智利和地中海地区等国家成功实施的循环商业模式和废物价值化战略进行了比较分析，得出了适用于墨西哥的实用见解。本综述将技术、政策和商业模式创新独特地结合在一起，为墨西哥生物经济的可持续发展提供了一种全面的方法。通过驾驭这些复杂问题，墨西哥可以释放出巨大的经济、环境和社会效益，为更加可持续和繁荣的未来做出贡献。
