This study aimed to assess the potential environmental benefits of implementing low-cost digesters to valorize agro-industrial waste in the non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS) sector. Two scenarios were considered: i) the current scenario in which organic waste and wastewater were burned outdoor and discharged into a water body, respectively; ii) the anaerobic digestion (AD) scenario, in which low-cost biodigesters were used for organic waste and wastewater treatment on-site. Results showed that low-cost digesters were a sustainable alternative to mitigate environmental impacts, especially those associated with water source pollution. Indeed, in the AD scenario, the environmental impact categories of Freshwater Eutrophication and Marine Eutrophication showed a decrease of 87.6% and 99.4%, respectively, compared to the current scenario. Thus, by treating organic waste and wastewater on-site while producing bioproducts (i.e. biofuel and biofertilizer), low-cost digesters could contribute to boosting the circular bioeconomy in the NCS production sector.
