Automobile interiors promoted the use of natural fiber-reinforced thermosets and thermoplastics in door panels, package trays, seat backs and trunk liners.
Use of agricultural products, including flax, jute, hemp and kenaf, as low-cost and low-weight alternatives to fiberglass, have shown good growth potential. The main advantages of natural fiber reinforcements such as lower weight, availability, ease of recycling, thermal and acoustic insulation, and carbon dioxide neutrality, lower energy consumption in production are making these composites increasingly attractive.
