GREEN COMPOSITES- A Review

Textile TEchnology

Green composites, also known as eco-friendly or sustainable composites, are a type of composite material designed to have minimal environmental impact throughout their lifecycle. These composites are increasingly gaining attention and popularity as the world seeks more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional materials. Green composites are typically made from renewable, biodegradable, or recycled materials. These materials can include natural fibers like flax, jute, hemp, and bamboo, as well as biopolymers derived from sources such as corn starch or soy protein. Using these materials reduces the reliance on non-renewable resources like petroleum-based plastics. The production of green composites often generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional composites made from fossil fuels. This makes them a more environmentally friendly option, especially when considering their contribution to mitigating climate change. Green composites find applications in various industries, including automotive, construction, aerospace, and consumer goods. They are used to create products such as car components, building materials, packaging, and even furniture
