Preface

PREFACE – 4

For many years, sugarcane was seen as the villain of the environment, because they burned sugarcane, thus harming the environment and even the surrounding residents. Since if the cane cutters cut it without burning it, it would hurt, that's why all the mills burned the cane. With the arrival of the harvesters and also with the law prohibiting fires, this has changed a lot. In times of drought, then, there are some burnings, as it is difficult to inspect all the sugarcane fields in Brazil. Read this book and discover that sugarcane can have many uses that most of the time is not being used. It is not just to produce sugarcane, ethanol, bioplastics and bioelectricity, the products that use sugarcane as raw material are expanded every day. The novelty in the market is the production of cellulosic pulp for paper.
