Biomass Waste and Byproducts in Construction Materials

Biomass Waste and Byproducts in Construction Materials explores processing techniques to optimize the properties of different biomass-derived products, guiding readers through material selection that is suitable to specific applications depending on the required performance. Next, a variety of expert studies, including lifecycle assessment and lifecycle cost analysis, 3D printing, and perspectives on BBA formulations describe recent progress in the use of biomass in building materials. Finally, high value-added applications are detailed, rounding out a comprehensive investigation into effective ways to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of construction composites while also contributing to waste-to-wealth strategies.

Readers will find this to be a single-point reference for researchers, practitioners, and other AECO stakeholders interested in innovative building components developed with organic materials' residues and derivatives.
