Development of renewable resources as an alternative to fossil fuelbased feedstock for the production of different materials is vital due to various concerns associated with petroleum-based resources. Cashew nut shell liquid, an industrial waste from cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale) processing industry, is widely exploited as a renewable resource for developing several sustainable materials. This chapter presents few projections on the development of biorenewable resources, utilization and implementation; especially, it highlights the recent progress in the production of cardanol-derived products. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.
