Abstract Nowadays, the production of consumer goods is based on the use of
non-renewable raw materials, which in recent years has been performing as a problem for the environment. Considering the large number of available biofibers in
nature, their use in the development of polymeric composites has inevitably
emerged, it is also necessary to take into account the countless discarded plastics
that still have the potential to be reused. In this work, fibers were extracted from
pineapple crown residues and utilized to compose sustainable composites using
recycled polypropylene from cups discarded in the trash as a matrix. However,
it is known… More >
