Wastes and industrial side streams play a significant role as raw materials in the European bioeconomy. Nowadays, waste biomass research is focusing on its conversion into value-added products. Aside from being carbon neutral, the use of biomass for energy reduces dependency on the consumption of fossil fuel contributes to energy security and climate change mitigation.
The objective of this research is to obtain a new advanced material from waste paper and to use it as a filler in a bio-composite. Biocomposites and new materials based on lignocellulosic components offer a huge potential in a large variety of applications such as building engineering, packaging, medicine, etc.
Keywords
