Biocomposites and Nanomaterials: A Circular Economy Approach explores the transformative shift from traditional linear economic models to the innovative concept of the Circular Economy. The book delves into sustainable materials synthesis and advanced technologies that cater to eco-friendly production in industries like manufacturing and process engineering. With a focus on precision tailoring of material structures, it highlights how systematic synthesis is revolutionizing material properties to meet the growing demands of diverse applications. The book is designed to inspire sustainable innovations that align seamlessly with the principles of a circular economy.

Beyond its primary focus, the book extensively discusses biocomposites, bio-adhesives, bioplastics, keratin-based products, and pharmaceutical developments. Key topics include sustainable production techniques, heterogeneous catalysis, carbon sequestration, and waste management strategies. Real-world industrial case studies provide practical insights into transitioning to eco-friendly practices. By showcasing cutting-edge research and applications, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for integrating circular economy frameworks into material development and industrial processes.
