Wood Biopolymers: A Sustainable Resource for the Future

Rick Graims

Wood, a natural and abundant resource, is rich in biopolymers that have gained significant attention for their potential in various applications. This abstract provides a concise overview of the multifaceted world of wood biopolymers and their significance in the context of sustainability and innovation. Wood biopolymers are primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, making up the structural components of trees. They have garnered interest due to their renewability, biodegradability, and low environmental impact. The most abundant wood biopolymer is cellulose, a linear polymer made up of glucose units.
