Cover Story: One of the most important by-products generated in the forestry industry is the bark obtained during the debarking process. The bark of P. radiata D. Don is an interesting source of extracts, rich in condensed tannins, with potential uses in biopolymer and bioadhesive preparation. Conversely, E. globulus bark extracts are rich in hydrolyzable tannins with few applications. Nevertheless, the forest industry generates a high volume of these by-products, simultaneously. In this work, a suitable process for the joint valorization of both forest by-products at a large scale was developed. The possibility of obtaining extracts from equal mixtures of both barks with applicability in the formulation of formaldehyde-free bioadhesives for industrial particleboards was also demonstrated. View this paper
