The main activities described in this article are carried out during the experimental phase of the research on composite materials manufacturing using textile inserts with natural origins fibres, oriented towards the manufacturing of composite materials samples. The objective of the research is to develop new fully or partially biodegradable composite materials by using new natural fibres and those recovered from various textile wastes. Thus, the research aims to obtain some composites with matrix of various types of polymeric materials and the reinforcement phase of textile materials so that the resulting products to be biodegradable. The textile inserts used as reinforcement are ecological, non-toxic and biodegradable and they contain bast fibres (flax, hemp, jute, divided or in combination), which can replace fibres of glass commonly used in polymeric composites. The purpose of the research is to obtain composite materials with high-structural, thermo-mechanical and/or tribological performances, according to ecological norms and international requirements in order to replace the existing classical materials, setting up current, innovative and high performance solutions, for applications in top areas such as automotive industry and not only.
