Abstract

This chapter proposes the utilization of agro-waste for the fabrication of bio composite and bio plastics. Agro waste is an efficient source for the fabrication of composite material. In the industrial, medical and agricultural sector, the natural fibres based reinforcement is gaining prominence. The natural fibres are classified based on the origin and can be categorized into plant, mineral and animal. The natural fibres have noteworthy gains over synthetic fibres. The composites and plastics based on naturally available resources are gaining importance due to the renewable and eco-friendly nature with the environment. India is blessed with a wide variety of plants and trees and the waste generated from nature when utilized properly paves a way towards sustainable development. This chapter focuses on the characteristics of some of the typical bio composites and bio plastics. The characteristics of bio composites and bio plastics depend on the treatment and process involved in the conversion of agro-waste. The applications of bio plastics and bio composites in various sectors are also highlighted in this work. The agro waste is one of the sources for the fabrication of bio composites and bio plastics and efficient utilization of agro-waste also generates rural empowerment towards a sustainable green circular economy. The agro waste based bio composites and bio plastics have significant environmental and economic benefits.
