Abstract
An eco‐friendly product has been the primary agenda of twenty‐first century of the global scientists. One of the main focuses is by‐product recycling of food processing industries. It has been long time since food industry byproduct converted into energy and value added products. Potato processing is newly emerging food processing factories in developing countries, and potato is the fourth important crop globally. A dramatic food demand increment had shown in the past two decades. This leads to increase the number of food processing industries. Nowadays, food processing industries particularly processed potato manufactures are expanding and generate a huge volume of potato peel. This by‐product causes environmental pollution due to decomposition. However, food byproducts like potato peel have essential organic matter. So this review introduces the potential use of potato peel as food preservative, pharmaceutical ingredient, renewable energy, and animal feed to promote eco‐friendly food industries.

Summary
Environmentally friendly solution for food by-products is yet to found and is under investigation (Arapoglou, Varzakas, Vlyssides, & Israilides, 2010). The total share of developing countries to global potato production rose from 20% to 52%. This is a remarkable achievement, considering the past two decades (FAO, 2008). The decomposition occurs when bacterial and other biological forms use the compounds as a source of food (Pailthorp, Filbert, & Richter, 1987). To avoid such problem, use of potato waste as an antioxidant in food systems due to its high phenol content is mandatory (Sepelev & Galoburda, 2015).
