Table 1.

Illustration of the fibres and polymers’ extraction possibilities from the lignocellulosic fibre component ([8,9]). PLA: poly lactic acid.

Lignocelluloses
Fibre Extraction	Biopolymer Synthesis
Fibrils extraction (mechanically, chemically, through bacteria, others)	Cellulose > Glucose > Lactic acid/PLA
Fibres direct usage (bales as building units)	Hemicellulose > Xylose > Xylit/Furan resin
Fibres densification and geometrical modifications (fibre mats, yarns, pellets, chopping, hybrids, others)	Lignin > Lignin/Phenols > Polymers
