The forest products sector plays a crucial role in supplying raw materials to numerous industrial sectors worldwide, encompassing both timber and non-timber products. Timber products, derived from the woody fraction of trees, include pulp, charcoal, firewood, and various other items. On the other hand, non-timber products are obtained from various parts of the tree, such as bark, leaves, fruits, resins, oils, tannins, and even non-woody biomass, such as palm heart or carnauba. The forest products sector is constantly evolving, with new studies and products being developed daily. However, studies that evaluate the sustainability of these products and the processes related to their production are not as common. It is essential to highlight the sustainability aspects of these activities and the products obtained from them to take steps to make the processes eco-friendly. Allied to ecological sustainability studies that evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of such activities arise. With this book, the authors present the practical vision of aligning production with sustainability in an economically viable way. The book analyses different products and processes, ranging from technological production of engineered wood products to handcrafted resins with a high commercial appeal. With the expertise of different authors, who are researchers in various specific areas of forest sciences, this book helps expand research and presents new insights, assisting industry decision-makers and researchers working in the areas of forest sciences.
