The accelerated exploitation of natural recourses has led the humanity towards a concerning situation, as some resources will be completely depleted soon. This will carry undesirable consequences not only for our species, but also for the whole planet. Therefore, the development of procedures that allow the recovery of useful substances from unexploited sources such as wastes has become an urgent issue. This paper presents a simple, low-cost, sustainable, and easily replicable method to produce cellulases and pectinases from mold cultures by means of solid-state fermentation. These enzymes can be used for the recovery of valuable compounds from agriculture wastes. Particularly, the recovery of carotenoids from mango peel and the production of fermentable sugars from chote fruit cellulose fibers are presented. By doing so, a zero-waste strategy is adopted, where every waste is seen as a potential raw material. The role of three young women, who are currently agroindustrial engineers, in the development of the project is highlighted, as this contributes to the gender parity in science.
