Abstract Lignocellulosic composites have attracted interest from both academia and industry due to their
benefi cial environmental and sustainability attributes. The lignocellulosic industry has seen remarkable
improvements in the development of composites for high performance applications. Both biodegradable as
well as non-biodegradable polymers are used in the design and engineering of lignocellulosic composites.
Biodegradability studies of lignocellulosic composites in soil and composting environments help in planning
their end-life management. Biodegradability tests are complex and dependent on the environment in which
the testing is carried out. Due to this, standards have been developed by international agencies such as the
American Society for… More >
