<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The back cover picture</bold> shows the sequential steps for the conversion of wheat straw to isosorbide: organosolv pretreatment of wheat straw to delignified pulp followed by one‐pot hydrolytic hydrogenation and dehydration to isosorbide with heteropoly acids and Ru/C, as described by Sels et al. on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 199.</ext-link> The carbon cycle is tentatively closed via CO₂ uptake from the end products (e.g. polymers, surfactants) by the wheat plants.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1p920r44" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
