A process includes calcining a high potassium carbonaceous waste product to form potassium oxide and carbon dioxide and reacting the potassium oxide and carbon dioxide to yield bio-based potassium carbonate. The process also includes catalyzing a reaction of a lignocellulosic biomass with abundant hydroxyl groups into a biopolyol using the bio-based potassium carbonate and brominating using a brominating agent a triglyceride to form a bio-isocyanate. In addition, the process includes reacting the biopolyol and the bio-isocyanate to form a polyurethane foam.
