Abstract

The production of various biomaterials from bioresources and biowastes is a major industrial activity in bioeconomy. Providing markets with bio-based materials as replacements to the fossil-based ones is facing two main challenges. The first one is related to the wide range of materials to be replaced by bioproducts at a competitive basis (i.e., producing equal quantities of better quality products). The second challenge, which needs to be seriously taken into consideration in bioeconomy, is managing the expected competition over the available biomass between the industries involved in the production of materials and those in the biofuel and biochemical sectors.

In the present chapter, numerous materials derived from renewable biomass are presented, along with the involved mechanical, thermochemical, and biological production procedures. This includes pulp and paper, bioplastics from various biopolymers and microorganisms, as well as biochars and activated carbons with versatile applications such as energy storage, water and wastewater treatment, soil amendment and remediation, and CO2 sequestration.
