Abstract

Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is a major by-product of the sugarcane industry and one of the most common renewable and sustainable cellulosic materials for various industrial applications. As the world moves toward bioeconomy and green chemistry for sustainable growth, SCB is seen as a valuable bioresource. The cellulose component of SCB at 40–50% serves as a precursor for producing value-added products such as cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibers and microcrystalline cellulose. Some applications of cellulosic materials from SCB, emerging markets and future prospects in the nanocellulose industry are discussed. Most studies on cellulose from SCB focused only on the extraction and isolation of micro and nanomaterials. This presents opportunity for researchers and industry players to invest efforts and capital into further applications of cellulosic materials from SCB, as a renewable and sustainable product source.
