This could include plant fibres such as cotton, flax, hemp, etc or
fibres from recycled wood or waste paper, or even by-products
from food crops like rice, sugarcane, etc.
Regenerated cellulose fibres i.e. viscose and rayon are also included
as they too come from a renewable resources.

PLA(poly lactic acid) because of its light weight property has found
application in the interiors of the car.
Most recognized natural fibres in automotive industry are flax, hemp,
kenaf, jute and sisal.
Natural fibre reinforced PP composites can be molded in desired
shape and thickness and are very popular in interior application.

Many manufactured goods are based on non-renewable materials such as fossil fuels and
minerals. Unfortunately, many problems have been associated with the utilization of these
products such as increasing costs, and environmental degradation due to extraction,
processing, and disposal. Therefore, researchers have recently focused attention on
biocomposites.
