Summary
The transition toward a circular bioeconomy demands innovative, sustainable, and efficient technologies for biomass valorization and pulping. Green chemistry strategies, particularly organosolvent pulping pretreatment, are emerging as pivotal solutions to unlock the full potential of lignocellulosic feedstocks. Organosolvent processes employ environmentally benign solvents to selectively fractionate biomass components, enabling the recovery of high-purity cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin with minimal environmental footprint. These technologies advance the principles of green chemistry by minimizing hazardous reagents, reducing energy consumption, and promoting waste valorization. Recent developments demonstrate their capacity not only to improve pulping efficiency but also to produce
