Abstract
If we are wise we can make a transition to the Age of Ecocomposites with virtually no pollution. Ecocomposite materials are those made with natural fibers and resins and can be produced in sustainable agro-industrial ecosystems. These materials can reused, recycled or returned to nature by grinding, composting, biological breakdown, or benign solvents. Historical use and recent rediscovery of these materials has suggested the many advantages (and challenges) using these materials offer to designers and engineers.
