“…Natural fibers such as abaca, cotton, jute, flax, hemp, and coir are deployed for different industrial applications. Recently, there has been in rapid growth in research and innovation in natural fiber composites in multidisciplinary areas [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. The characteristics of natural fiber composites are durability, low cost, low weight, high specific strength, non-abrasiveness, equitably good mechanical properties, eco-friendliness, and biodegradability [ 6 , 29 , 34 , 35 ].…”

There has been much effort to provide eco-friendly and biodegradable materials for the next generation of composite products owing to global environmental concerns and increased awareness of renewable green resources. This review article uniquely highlights the use of green composites from natural fiber, particularly with regard to the development and characterization of chitosan, natural-fiber-reinforced chitosan biopolymer, chitosan blends, and chitosan nanocomposites. Natural fiber composites have a number of advantages such as durability, low cost, low weight, high specific strength, non-abrasiveness, equitably good mechanical properties, environmental friendliness, and biodegradability. Findings revealed that chitosan is a natural fiber that falls to the animal fiber category. As it has a biomaterial form, chitosan can be presented as hydrogels, sponges, film, and porous membrane. There are different processing methods in the preparation of chitosan composites such as solution and solvent casting, dipping and spray coating, freeze casting and drying, layer-by-layer preparation, and extrusion. It was also reported that the developed chitosan-based composites possess high thermal stability, as well as good chemical and physical properties. In these regards, chitosan-based “green” composites have wide applicability and potential in the industry of biomedicine, cosmetology, papermaking, wastewater treatment, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals.

“…To apply the biocomposites in many applications, especially structural applications, the material has to be guaranteed its optimal constituent elements and their suitable manufacturing process [ 129 , 130 , 131 ]. Variation of manufacturing techniques for natural fibre-composites is depended on production volume, product purpose, properties, shape and size [ 89 , 118 ]. The preliminary assessment to choose appropriate processing techniques depends on the size and shape of the composites.…”

“…The plant-based fibres or lignocellulosic fibres are obtained from crop biomass waste such as pineapple leaf, sugar palm, oil palm empty fruit bunch and rice husk. These fibres are made up of cellulose components reinforced in a lignin matrix which exhibit high tensile strength [ 13 , 89 ] and thermal stability [ 10 , 90 ]. In general, the reinforcement can be laminate, particles, continuous or short fibres from plant cellulosic components ( Figure 5 ).…”

The natural fibres can be reinforced in both synthetic and bio-based polymers [ 89 , 130 , 131 , 166 ]. The issues are related to natural fibre-composites performance besides society recognition and government support.…”

New product development review article aims to consolidate the principles and current literature on design for sustainability to seek the field’s future direction. In this point of view, the design for sustainability methods can be established under the idea of sustainability in dimensions of ecology, economy and social pillars. Design for sustainability concept is implemented in concurrent engineering, including concept, embodiment and detail design processes. Integrating sustainability in engineering designs is crucial to producing greener products, system innovation, and services aligned with current market demand. Currently, many concurrent engineering studies related to natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites associated with sustainability enhance the application of design for sustainability techniques by professional designers. However, the current literature is scarce in bridging the design for sustainability concept with concurrent engineering during the design development stage, and these areas should be further developed. Several other future research directions, such as the need for aligning with principles and applications, along with exploring the relationships between the design for sustainability techniques and views of sustainability, are presented in this review paper.

“…The critical parameter is the sufficient adhesion filler-matrix, but once obtained, the bio-composites properties provide a promising alternative to the traditional ones. For instance, one tested the jute fibre/PLA [ 43 ] enhanced the properties by alkali, peroxide, permanganate or silane pre-treatment. Moreover, hemp/PLA [ 44 ] after the silane and alkali treatment or alkali one alone [ 45 ] exhibited the improvement of mechanical parameters.…”

Plant-oil-based fibre composites for boat hulls are an interesting and growing group of materials. Although many problems are to be tackled at different stages of their preparation, the green composites are already successfully commercialised. Within this paper, the most important chemical and physical characteristics of both natural fibres and sustainable resins are provided in the form of a comprehensive review. Finally, the complex issue of interactions filler–matrix is considered.
