The book will try to give an overview on the possibility to use by-products’ raw materials such as, chitin and chitosan, cellulose and lignin, to produce 100% biodegradable goods like innovative cosmetics, non-woven tissues and food packaging by the use of nanotechnology with a lower consumption of energy and water. Products made at nano level have, in fact, a higher effectiveness because they may work at the level of human tissues and cells.
