The authors demonstrate that Areca and its byproducts can be used as source for fuel, fiber, composites, packaging materials, medical biomaterials, construction materials, and materials for environmental remediation. The book is aimed at advanced readers who are interested in biobased products, bioeconomy, sustainability and agricultural waste valorization. It is also a useful reference for engineers, scientists, and students working on alternative products and fibrous materials from biobased resources.
