The omnipresence and overconsumption of plastics and commodity materials is causing several environmental and climatic global challenges mainly because of the use of depleting fossil resources and also subtractive manufacturing processes.  To face these challenges, the development of circular economy by exploring sustainable alternatives both in term of resources and also in term of processing technologies.  Tremendous development has been achieved to identify renewable raw materials with intent to gradually replace fossil-based plastics by transforming lignocellulosic feedstock. Indeed, lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive, non-edible, low-cost, and inexhaustible starting material that could be generated in huge quantities from agricultural and forestry activity worldwide. In term of manufacturing, additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is surfacing a potential solution for a sustainable use of the raw materials during processing.  Several technologies are being developed requiring feeding materials with distinct intrinsic properties.<br/>Under this trend lignocellulose-derived substrates were modified and blended to prepare novel biobased 3D printable composites to lead functional materials. Such materials are highly sought for myriad practical applications. <br/> <br/>
