The text sets the context of the renewables debate with key opening chapters on green chemistry, and the current situation of US and EU policy regarding sustainability and industrial waste. The quantitative and technical scope and production of renewable resources is then discussed with material looking at integral valorisation, the primary production of raw materials, downstream processing, and the identification of renewable crop materials. The latter part of the book concludes with a discussion on the uses for renewable materials such as carbohydrates, woods, fibres, biopolymers, lipids and proteins in different industrial applications, including a key chapter on the high value-added industries.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the broad concept of renewable resources from different points of view.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTakes readers through the identification, production, processing and end-applications for renewable raw materials.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiders and compares EU and US renewable resources and sustainability objectives.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevotes one chapter to green chemistry and sustainability, focussing on the green industrial processes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an essential book for upper level undergraduates and Masters students taking modules on Renewable Resources, Green Chemistry, Sustainable Development, Environmental Science, Agricultural Science and Environmental Technology.
