“…Within this context, waste management brings benefits to both organizations and society, promoting the commercialization of these materials and generating income through recycling and sustainability practices [16]. This is highly advantageous, considering that Brazil is currently one of the main producers of various natural fibers, thanks to the great diversity of these materials in the country, especially those originating from the Amazon [34][35][36].…”

“…Encompassing all this diversity, Brazil demonstrates considerable potential to position itself as a global leader in the production of lignocellulosic fibers for use in composite materials [39]. This is already evident in the production of certain fibers, such as sisal, in which the country is the largest global producer, accounting for 44.7% of the world's total production of this fiber [35]. In addition to sisal, the country also stands out as one of the main global producers of cotton fiber.…”

The Amazon rainforest, spanning multiple countries in South America, is the world’s largest equatorial expanse, housing a vast array of relatively unknown plant and animal species. Encompassing the planet’s greatest flora, the Amazon offers a tremendous variety of plants from which natural lignocellulosic fibers (NLFs) can be extracted. In this century, NLFs, which have long been utilized by indigenous populations of the Amazon, have garnered interest as potential reinforcements for composites, whether polymer- or cement-based, in various technical applications such as packaging, construction, automotive products, and ballistic armor. A comparison with synthetic materials like glass, carbon, and aramid fibers, as well as other established NLFs, highlights the cost and specific property advantages of Amazon natural fibers (ANFs). Notably, the sustainable cultivation and extraction of ANFs, as alternatives to deforestation and livestock pasture, contribute to the preservation of the Amazon rainforest. This review article provides a comprehensive examination of recent studies directly related to ANF-reinforced polymer matrix composites. The specific advantages, proposed applications, and reported challenges are highlighted, shedding light on the potential of these unique natural fibers.

“…Most of the waste is discarded in the field as garbage, harming the environment due to the production of greenhouse gases (Broeren et al, 2017). However, several studies are being carried out to use sisal residues as biogas (Soares et al, 2023), pharmaceutical inputs (hecogenin, inulin, and others) (Apolinário et al, 2017), construction material (Kaushik et al, 2023), bio-oil, and various chemical products (Araujo et al, 2023) These alternative processes for the use of waste will play a fundamental role in the stability of the crop in the producing regions, and they will contribute to the maintenance of man in the countryside.…”

The present work studies the composting effects on the chemical characteristics of bio‐oil produced by pyrolysis of sisal residue. Three systems were composted with sisal residue proportions to sisal fiber powder of 100:0, 90:10, and 75:25, respectively. The systems showed reductions of 33%–48% (extractive), 70%–80% (hemicellulose), and 80%–90% (cellulose) after composting. An increase in lignin content was observed in all systems. The pyrolysis of the composted systems was performed at 450°C and 550°C. At both temperatures, this process was selective in producing a large concentration of hydrocarbons (>160% increase), mainly alkanes and alkenes, reducing the concentrations of ketones, aldehydes, and phenolics (>50%) and eliminating esters, furans, and acetic acid to composted biomasses. The higher temperature favored aromatics and cyclic hydrocarbon production from the pyrolysis of composted samples. In addition to these results, composting helped reduce the oxygenated bio‐oil species by approximately 44%–75% at the lowest and ~69% at the highest temperatures. These results indicate that composted sisal residue can produce bio‐oils that are more suitable for biorefineries since they are rich in aliphatic hydrocarbons and non‐oxygenated species.
