The large‐scale production of valuable products in the bioreactor is a complex process, requiring an assessment of the different parameters affecting its efficiency. The skills of a biotechnologist and a chemical engineer need to be combined in order to achieve a practical approach to the production of biosurfactants. Several research efforts have been made to evaluate the potential of different microbes for the production of industrial byproduct biosurfactants as substrates.

The use of low‐cost industrial waste and renewable materials may significantly reduce the operating costs of biosurfactant production (by almost 50%). The use of industrial byproducts/waste for the production of biosurfactant is therefore a sustainable option.
