The process of photosynthesis is a potential source of energy and
bioproducts. Renewable sources of polymeric materials offer an
answer to maintaining sustainable development of economically and
ecologically attractive technology. The innovations in the
development of materials from biopolymers, preservation of
fossil-based raw materials, complete biological degradability,
reduction in the volume of garbage and compostability in the
natural cycle, climate protection through reduction of carbon
dioxide released, and the application possibilities of agricultural
resources for the production of bio/green materials are some of the
reasons why such materials are attracting public interest. FEATURES
Discusses waste from urban areas, forestry and agricultural
processes, specifically grown crops such as trees, starch crops,
sugar crops hydrocarbon plants and oils, and finally aquatic plants
such as water seaweeds and algae, which can be used as raw
materials for sustainable development. Presents recent advances in
the development of some specifically chemical components of
biomasses for a sustainable future. Focuses on lignocellulose as a
source of bio-based products. Draws upon expertise from various
countries. Describes how upgraded and integrated biomass processing
may reduce the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Valentin I. Popa is professor emeritus of Wood Chemistry and
Biotechnology at Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi,
Romania.
