Abstract

One-sentence Summary: Multifaceted waste streams as the basis for resource recovery are essential to achieve environmental sustainability in a circular economy, and require the development of next-generation waste treatment technologies leveraging a highly adaptive mixed microbial community approach to produce new biochemicals, biomaterials, and biofuels from carbon-rich organic waste streams.
