Sustainable Biomass Materials Derived from Agricultural and Forestry Residues

The growing environmental concerns about global climatic change and increasing carbon footprints led to the rapid advent of the situation of exploitation of biomass residues from different biomass sources of which forest and agricultural residues are the prominent ones. The exploitation of these renewable sources establishes a circular economic approach which also comes out as a highlighted benefit of relying on biomass residues. These biomass residues are a storehouse of high potential value-added sustainable sources which have now been used as environmentally benign substrates for developing more safe products in a diverse array of applications including biomedical, greener energy devices, water remediation, food packaging, edible coating technology, etc.
