“…The circular economy is a concept of economic growth as an alternative to conventional manufacturing that emphasizes the integration of resources and production factors that are oriented towards efficiency, with the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling to achieve value optimization and zero waste [3]. The circular economy is not a new concept, but it is an adaptation of cleaner production, energy conservation, and waste management [11].…”

“…The implementation of a circular economy has become a concern in various industries i.e. fashion and textile which is considered as the most resource-intensive industry [1][2], mining [14], electronic as the industry with the highest waste growth [12], leather [4], and seafood industries [3]. Several forms of circular economy implementation are circular supply chain, recycling, and recovery, product life extension, sharing economy, and product-service systems [12],…”

“…The methods to assess the CE are; a. material flow analysis, material energy flow analysis, and substance flow analysis Life, b. life cycle assessment, c. energy, emergy, exergy analysis, d. ecological footprint, e. physical input-output analysis, and f. monetization of costs and benefits. However, the circular economy is difficult to measure from the socio-economic dimension [3].…”

The industrial sector has been treated as the engine of economic growth contributing to GDP, job opportunities and business creation. However industrial activities also cause various environmental problems such as water, air pollution, also hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation. One approach to deal with this problem is by involving industries at Proper (business performance rating on environmental management). The industries that proactively managing its environmental impacts and resulting energy efficiency, reduce of water consumption and emission, reduce of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, improve bio-diversity, are awarded as green ranking. The gold ranking is awarded for industries which are able to create self-reliance communities through corporate social responsibility (CSR). To optimize environmental performance, the industries achieving beyond compliance level are obliged to adopt life cycle assessment (LCA).

“…The valorization of these residues, rather than their disposal or incineration, introduces the concept of circular economy to the seafood processing sector. As discussed by Ruiz-Salmón et al [ 4 ] and Jacob et al [ 5 ], among the challenges for increasing the sustainability of the European seafood sector, various approaches are being undertaken. The circular economy approach includes ensuring significant material savings throughout value chains and production processes but also generating extra value and unlocking economic opportunities.…”

The crustacean processing industry has experienced significant growth over recent decades resulting in the production of a great number of by-products. Crustacean by-products contain several valuable components such as proteins, lipids, and carotenoids, especially astaxanthin and chitin. When isolated, these valuable compounds are characterized by bioactivities such as anti-microbial, antioxidant, and anti-cancer ones, and that could be used as nutraceutical ingredients or additives in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Different innovative non-thermal technologies have appeared as promising, safe, and efficient tools to recover these valuable compounds. This review aims at providing a summary of the main compounds that can be extracted from crustacean by-products, and of the results obtained by applying the main innovative non-thermal processes for recovering such high-value products. Moreover, from the perspective of the circular economy approach, specific case studies on some current applications of the recovered compounds in the seafood industry are presented. The extraction of valuable components from crustacean by-products, combined with the development of novel technological strategies aimed at their recovery and purification, will allow for important results related to the long-term sustainability of the seafood industry to be obtained. Furthermore, the reuse of extracted components in seafood products is an interesting strategy to increase the value of the seafood sector overall. However, to date, there are limited industrial applications for this promising approach.
