Dublin, Oct. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Market for Biocomposites 2023-2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Biocomposites are generally referred to as composites with either reinforcement or matrix derived from natural sources, or encompassing both (full biocomposites). Biocomposites are produced from naturally-renewable and abundant precursor feedstocks, and possess properties equivalent, on a weight basis, to their synthetic counterparts.
Natural and wood fibers are combined with petrochemical or bio-based polymers to achieve enhanced mechanical and lightweight properties. The most commonly used types of biocomposites are Wood-Plastic Composites (WPC) and Natural Fibre Composites (NFC). Their use is growing due to the need for significant reduction in the consumption of plastic materials.
Profiles of over 150 companies in biocomposites. Companies profiled include Cruz Foam, Ecovative Design LLC, Bcomp Ltd., Ecovative, Lingrove, Inc., MOGU S.r.l., Natural Fiber Welding, Inc., OrganoClick, Seevix Material Sciences Ltd. and many more.
