Lignin is a type of complex and rigid organic polymer. It plays a crucial role in providing structural support and strength to the tissues of vascular plants and algae. In terms of abundance, lignin is the second most common polymer found on land, right after cellulose.
Due to its stable nature and resistance to breakdown, lignin has traditionally been seen as a byproduct in various industries. This includes the pulp and paper industry, agricultural waste management, and other industries that involve hydrolysis processes
