Abstract
The chase for sustainability has driven awesome strides in composite fibers and recycled plastics, which have made viable options available in numerous areas. Composite fibers are known for their recordbreaking strength-to-weight proportions and capacity to serve numerous functions, that’s why they’re used all over from the automotive industry to aviation. But natural fibers are hydrophilic, so they do not mix well with hydrophobic matrices they need surface adjustments and fire retardant treatments to be utilized for composites to perform at their best. On the other hand, one of plastics’ most significant benefits is their recyclability, recycling programs can do a lot to tackle widespread plastic contamination. Recycling has positive environmental effects, but still there are major challenges when it comes to plastic recycling including contamination and all the different types of plastics that require sorting out. Promising answers can be offered to these issues through better approaches to sorting and recycling plastic waste. For instance, life cycle assessments and carbon footprint research are vital for deciding how much composite fibers influence the environment in comparison with conventional materials made from recycled plastics. In this study, we can see that all through their lifecycle composite fibers have been found to discharge minimal amounts of GHGs subsequently reducing energy use to reduce pollution. Similarly, the work on recycled plastics when compared with virgin ones lowers their impacts on the environment by saving landfills from plastic waste, reducing the demand for raw materials, and high in energy production techniques. In general terms, sustainable indicators are exceptionally imperative in ensuring that we make choices based on reliable information regarding environmentally sustainable practices and industrial applications that require solid and sustainable future transformation.
