Bio-based chemistry is a form of green chemistry; Due to its unique feature, it uses a renewable raw material derived from biomass (plants, wood, plant products, algae, etc.) instead of petrochemical-derived material.
The end products are described as “bio-based” because they are derived from biomass. Bio-based products are now used in many sectors.
Bio-based adhesives are promising for many industrial applications, replacing synthetic adhesives in many engineering applications. Bio-based adhesives are increasingly used as they are environmentally friendly green products that do not have any negative impact on the environment, and various formulations are being introduced to the market. All these developments in bio-based adhesives have led to 'sustainable' products. In recent years, with the production of sustainable alginate, sodium alginate has started to be used in many bio-based adhesives due to its superior polymeric properties such as water solubility.
