Drivers & Restraints-
Increasing Usage of Sustainable Fibers to Boost Growth
Wood Plastic Composite are green materials that have high potential in bringing about sustainability. They don’t contain excessive chemicals that may pose toxic for the environment and are durable in nature. Plant-based fibers are mainly used in reinforced plastics, instead of fibrous materials as they are cost effective, robust, highly stiff, and annually renewable. Such fibers also emit less carbon dioxide, have low density, and possess biodegradability properties. Numerous automakers worldwide are aiming to develop biodegradable or recyclable parts of vehicles by using sustainable Wood Plastic Composite. They would aid in lowering fuel consumption and production cost, offering shatterproof performance under harsh weather conditions, enhance passenger safety, lower weight of the material, and improve acoustic performance. However, Wood Plastic Composite require higher initial cost spending. It may obstruct growth.
