ABSTRACT
Environmental pollution has become an unavoidable problem nowadays, and plastic disposables play a vital role in polluting the earth’s surface and water bodies. In a recent discovery, it has been found that plastic molecules were present in the water sample collected from the deepest part of the ocean where even human intervention hasn’t been made. To reduce plastic pollution, researchers are developing biodegradable counterparts of plastic disposables. Biocomposites play a vital role in solving many of these existing problems with an eco-friendly approach. This chapter will elaborate on the sustainable approach to developing biocomposites with natural fibres and epoxy or resins. The study focuses on dividing natural fibres into their subcategories of plant-based fibres and animal fibres and studying their advantages and disadvantages in developing biocomposites. It also includes studies related to naturally available epoxy and resin, which can be a sustainable alternative to the commercially available synthetic counterparts.
