The promise of transforming waste streams with small economic value into valuable products makes resource recovery technologies in bio-based production processes an attractive proposition. However, the use of resource recovery technologies in industrial applications is still minimal, despite its wide use in closely related processes such as dairy production. In this paper, a perspective on the role of resource recovery in bio-based production processes is provided through reviewing the past practice and identifying the benefits, opportunities and challenges of introducing resource recovery technologies to industrial bio-based production processes. The role and importance of economics, technology readiness and socio-environmental impacts of resource recovery in successfully implementing resource recovery technologies in industrial bio-based production processes is also discussed. Finally, based on the insights gained in this review and assessment of resource recovery technologies in the domain of bio-based production processes, an informed opinion and perspective is provided. The current state of resource recovery and the shortcomings when developing practical resource recovery applications in bio-based production processes are discussed.

将经济价值较小的废物流转化为有价值的产品的承诺使基于生物的生产过程中的资源回收技术成为一个有吸引力的提议。但是，尽管资源回收技术在乳制品生产等紧密相关的过程中得到了广泛使用，但在工业应用中的使用仍然很少。在本文中，通过回顾过去的实践并确定将资源回收技术引入工业生物基生产流程中的优势，机会和挑战，从而提供了关于资源回收在生物基生产流程中的作用的观点。经济学的作用和重要性，还讨论了在工业生物基生产过程中成功实施资源回收技术时资源回收的技术准备状况和社会环境影响。最后，基于在本次回顾和评估基于生物的生产过程领域中的资源回收技术中获得的见识，提供了一个有见地的见解和观点。讨论了资源回收的现状以及在基于生物的生产过程中开发实用的资源回收应用程序时的缺点。
