Abstract A large amount of vegetable-fruit-based waste (VFBW) belonging to agricultural waste is produced around the world every year, imposing a huge burden on the environment and sustainable development. VFBW contains a lot of water and useful organic compounds (e.g., cellulose, minerals, starch, proteins, organic acids, lipids, and soluble sugars). Taking into account the composition characteristics and circular economy of VFBW, many new emerging conversion technologies for the treatment of VFBW (such as hydrothermal gasification, ultrasound -assisted extraction, and synthesis of bioplastics) have been developed. This review summarizes the current literature discussing the technical parameters, process, mechanism, and characteristics of various emerging conversion methods, as well as analyzing the application, environmental impact, and bio-economy of by-products from the conversion process, to facilitate solutions to the key problems of engineering cases using these methods. The shortcomings of the current study and the direction of future research are also highlighted in the review.
