The present invention is directed generally to a method of production of biobased chemicals from lignin sources, including waste lignin. This method may allow for selectively producing biobased chemicals from lignin sources using certain processing methods. The methods for production of these biobased chemicals may be provided by oxidative processing in the presence of a caustic. Further, the oxidative processing, including catalytic oxidative processing and stoichiometric oxidative processing, may also be used. The present invention may also provide control over lignin bond fragmentation in the selective production of the biobased chemicals.
