Concerns over considerable solid waste production, increasing environmental pollution, and the energy crisis have assigned a high value to solid waste recycling. Solid waste can be recycled as a potential substitute for some chemical substances. Additionally, a promising strategy is the conversion of solid waste into heterogeneous catalysts for use in environmental remediation and renewable energy production. Hence, this article aims to provide a state-of-the-art review of recent developments in solid waste-derived heterogeneous catalysts (e.g., supported and Cu-, Co–, Mn-, Fe-, and Ca-based) for organic contaminant removal and biodiesel production. First, the types and characteristics of solid waste that are suitable to be processed into catalysts are summarized. This is followed by a brief description of the recycling technologies and processes of solid waste-derived environmentally friendly catalysts. Next, the applications of these new valuable heterogeneous catalysts in organic pollutant removal and biodiesel production are emphasized. Finally, some future research directions are proposed.

对固体废物产生量大，环境污染加剧和能源危机的担忧已赋予固体废物回收很高的价值。固体废物可以作为某些化学物质的潜在替代品进行回收。另外，一种有前途的策略是将固体废物转化为非均相催化剂，以用于环境修复和可再生能源生产。因此，本文旨在提供有关固体废物衍生的非均相催化剂（例如负载型和基于Cu，Co，Mn，Fe和Ca的负载型非均相催化剂）最新进展的最新综述。污染物去除和生物柴油生产。首先，总结了适合处理成催化剂的固体废物的类型和特性。接下来是对固体废物衍生的环保催化剂的回收技术和工艺的简要说明。接下来，强调这些新型有价值的非均相催化剂在有机污染物去除和生物柴油生产中的应用。最后，提出了一些未来的研究方向。
