<br/><br/> Four studies were conducted to valorize cellulosic wastes. Study 1 revealed that small ingredient of animal glue in bagasse TPS composite, drastically increased strength from 4 to 20 MPa at low temp. Study 2 yielded that flax TPS composite was the most recalcitrant to biodegradation. Study 3 showed that pulped bleached poplar is good candidate to extract cellulose nanocrystals. Study 4 exhibited that pulped unbleached palm can yield lignin containing spherical nanocellulose. Results depicted in this thesis widen horizon of biowaste valorization to construct versatile materials
