Lignin, a complex organic polymer, is an integral part of the cell walls of many plants, lending them rigidity and resistance to rot. It is among the most abundant natural polymers in the world, surpassed only by cellulose. Lignin is typically a byproduct of the paper and pulp industry, where it is often burned for energy. Increasing awareness of sustainability and the environmental impact of fossil fuel-based products has accelerated the need for lignin. As industries and consumers alike seek greener alternatives, lignin emerges as a promising renewable raw material, particularly in the adhesive industry. However, complex production and processing activities of lignin impede the lignin development. Companies invest in research and development to unlock new applications for lignin and improve its processing and refining techniques. Strategic partnerships and collaborations are also common as stakeholders across the value chain work together to integrate lignin into existing products and develop new markets for this versatile material. Incentives for the use of renewable materials and regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions are creating a favorable environment for the growth of the lignin industry.
