The implementation of sustainable strategies based on the integral valorization of residues
is the most efficient way to achieve a profitable circular economy. This comprehensive study
highlights the potential of apple waste from juice and cider production as a precursor of
porous carbons and provides guidelines to achieve a wide spectrum of physicochemical
properties. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of apple bagasse is proposed as a feasible
integrated process with zero waste that allows stabilizing this highly pollutant residue in the …
