Circular bioeconomy valorisation of dairy waste: Optimised acid hydrolysis for resource recovery towards biostimulant production and plant response assessment
) showed enhanced root development and biomass. The best formulation increased seedling fresh mass by 47% over the control and 27% over a commercial product. This valorisation strategy allows for effective recovery of resources while reducing the environmental burden of dairy waste and supporting the integration of industrial by-products into sustainable agricultural practices. This research highlights a path consistent with sustainable waste management in line with the circular economy.
