With the development of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industry and the progress of TCM preparation technology, the production of TCM residue is also increasing day by day, and now the annual output of TCM residue has exceeded 35 million tons. Making good use of TCM residue resources can not only protect the environment, reduce enterprise expenditure, but also create huge economic benefits. This paper reviewed the current situation of the traditional ecological and economic utilization of TCM residue from the aspects of active component re-extraction, environmental governance, and being used as feed or feed additive, being used as organic fertilizer and cultivation substrate, being used as raw material for light industry production. It analyzed the current situation of high-value utilization of TCM residue from the aspects of the development of energy substances, dietary fiber products, nano-cellulose products and composite materials, and prospected the comprehensive utilization of TCM residue, in order to provide references for the high-quality development of TCM industry.
