Abstract: Generating an increasing amount of waste from different spheres of anthropogenic activity, including fruit and vegetable production and processing, poses questions about their management, minimizing and seeking ways to harvest them. Based on the analysis, systematization and aggregation of information from various scientific publications, the main directions in the treatment and utilization of waste products from fruits and vegetables could be the production of biofuels, soil fertilizers and improvers, use in animal feed, extraction of various valuable components. The purpose of this paper is to present some examples of the possibilities for utilization of fruit and vegetable waste. Efficient use of fruit and vegetable waste can be achieved by developing an integrated methodology for managing them through joint implementation of different approaches and strategies.
