Bio-composites can supplement and eventually replace petroleum-based composite materials in several applications. Several critical issues related to bio-fiber surface treatments is to make it a more suitable matrix for composite application and promising techniques need to be solved to design bio-composite of interest. The main motivation for developing bio-composites has been and still is to create a new generation of fiber reinforced plastics material competitive with fiber reinforced ones that are environmentally compatible in terms of products, use, and renewal. There is an immense opportunity in developing new bio-based products, but the real challenge is to design suitable bio-based products through innovative ideas. Green materials are the wave of the future. Bio-composites have very strong future prospects, though the present low level of production, some deficiency in technology and high cost restrict them from a wide range of applications. The bio-composite material becomes sustainable because the bio-composites are renewable, recyclable, bio-degradable, eco-friendly in nature and commercially viable.
