Emergence of Sustainable Approaches for Functional Materials: Cashew Nut Shell Liquid and Other Relevant Crop-Based Renewable Resources

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Development of renewable resources as an alternative to fossil fuel-based feedstock for the production of different materials is vital due to various concerns associated with petroleum-based resources. Cashew nut shell liquid, an industrial waste from cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale) processing industry, is widely exploited as a renewable resource for developing several sustainable materials. This chapter presents few projections on the development of biorenewable resources, utilization and implementation; especially, it highlights the recent progress in the production of cardanol-derived products.
