“…Natural fibers have less competitive points compared to carbon fiber such as low mechanical strength, low thermal stability, and high degradation [48]. However, natural fiber still became a better choice due to its flexibility, easy to manufacture, and machinable [49], stable and available to combine with other materials and fibers [50,51], have a better life cycle assessment [52], and low-cost recycling process [53].…”

“…Nowadays, environmental concern has gained great importance, arising the consciousness about recycling and resource utilization. For this reason, microextraction applications using waste products, such as cotton cloths waste, are increasingly appearing in scientific publications [65][66][67]. Cotton cloths waste has been used for the production of nanocellulose materials [68], including activated and porous carbon [69,70].…”

“…The necessity of a significant change in environmental management and the minimization of the impact produced by our society has motivated the development of environmentally sustainable products. In the field of plastic composites, lignocellulosic fibers are viewed as an eco-friendly alternative to non-renewable and non-biodegradable synthetic reinforcements like carbon, aramid, or glass [1][2][3][4]. In addition to its sustainable character, natural fibers have low density, a relatively low cost, and provide reasonable mechanical enhancements [5].…”
