• Resumen

  • The interest on the production of nanocellulose and its technological applications is growing constantly due to the high strength and stiffness, low weight and biodegradability exhibited by cellulose nanostructures. In this work we propose the use of garden waste as an abundant nanocellulose resource. Garden waste from urban areas is constantly increasing and it is usually an underutilized resource because it has not a well defined production function. In comparison with the use of forest residues, garden waste is much more suitable for the nanocellulose extraction because its use does not impact on the balance of natural ecosystems.
