Dublin, Jan. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Market for Natural Fibers 2020-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
There are global concerns regarding the use of non-renewable materials in manufacturing and increasing environmental legislation. There is pressure, both consumer and regulatory, for products that are more environmentally friendly and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. As a result, the use of natural fibers in products and composites will continue to grow as major contributors towards a biobased economy.
Natural fibers are either plant-based (ligno) cellulosics, animal-based protein fibers or inorganic polymers. They possess advantages over synthetic fibres including widespread availability, low cost, low density, acceptable modulus-weight ratio, high acoustic damping, low manufacturing energy consumption, low carbon footprint and biodegradability.
