Natural fiber composites – a practical guide for industrial utilization

Mohamad Midani, Ph.D. and Ms. Lobna A. Elseify February 24, 2022

Every year thousands of nonrecyclable/nondegradable composite parts end up in landfills, including gigantic parts like wind turbine blades, putting more pressure on composite manufacturers to reevaluate the sustainability of their products and their end-of-life options.
