Are lignin-derived monomers and polymers truly sustainable? An in-depth green metrics calculations approach
Sami Fadlallah, Pallabi Sinha Roy, Gil Garnier, Kei Saito, Florent Allais
Abstract
The green aspects of the lignin-derived monomers and polymers have been analysed. A different viewpoint has been provided to encourage researchers to use simple and yet effective green metrics calculations in the development of sustainable syntheses.
