Sugarcane is an important agricultural crop in the Brazil (Botaro,
1996). The cane stalk consists of inner pith that contains mostly
sucrose. The external part is composed with lignocellulosic fibers.
The process of sugarcane extracts the sucrose by crushing the entire stalk. Large quantities of bagasse containing both fibers and pith remain after sugar extraction (Xua et al., 2009). According to Rowell and Keany (1991) disposal of this byproduct from the sugar industry is inefficient. Research work on the use of agro-industrial waste is needed because of the serious economic and environmental problems caused by the disposal of these resources. Transforming bagasse into high quality industrial panel products, such as bagasse particleboards (BPBs) or bagasse–polymer composites (Xua et al., 2009) provides an interesting solution for more effective bagasse utilization in accordance with a sustainable development.
