N2 - Lignocellulosic materials have huge potential because of their abundance, renewability, and non-edible nature aids to develop it to an eco-friendly bioplastic. These feedstocks can be utilized for extracting lignin and cellulose. Both the materials can easily be tunable by surface modifications and other chemical derivatizations to produce different bioplastics. Common biobased plastics that can be derived from lignin or cellulose include polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoates, bio-polyethylene, polyurethanes and starch based nanocellulosic bioplastics. The present review addresses lignocellulosic compositions, conversion routes for bioplastic production and their applications in various fields. In the nearby future, lignocellulose derived bioplastics will emerge as valuable materials in different fields for a wide range of cutting-edge applications. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. part of Springer Nature.
