  1. FoodandAgricultureOrganization Action to Unlock Commercial Fibre Potential Multi-Stakeholder Consultation Held in Conjunction with the Intergovernmental Group on Hard Fibers and the Intergovernmental Group on Jute Kenaf and Allied Fibers Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, November 15, 2011

  3. NATURAL FIBERS FOR COMPOSITES APPLICATIONS

  4. Proverbs •  “Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they manage, and those who manage what they do not understand” • Putt’s Law • We must fully understand the composites equation (matrix/reinforcements/load)

  5. Opportunities forNatural Fibers • Short Fibers • Long Fibers • Intercropping • By-products • Residues • Field Waste • Industrial Waste

  6. Base Bio vs. Base Fossil

  7. NF Must be Sustainable Triangulo de Campbell

  9. Egypt: The Ahmed family of Cairo Food Expenditure for 1 week ≈ $68.50 10

  10. Ecuador: The Ayme family of Tingo Food Expenditure for 1 week ≈ $31.55 11

  11. Chad: The Aboubakar family of Breidjing CampFood Expenditure for 1 week ≈ $1.23 12

  12. NOT Competing with Food • Preventing rural exodus • Using local labour forces • Environmentally sound • PROFITABLE for the growers as well as for the industry • Biogenics versus Non-biogenics • Green Product / Green Process • Ecomenia (ecological + profitable)

  13. CLASSIFICATION OF NATURAL FIBRES

  14. Natural Fibers: • Taboa (Typha domingensis) • Sisal • Jute • Fique • Abaca • Pineapple • Curaua • Banana • Coir • Pulp & Paper sludge • Peanut shells and • Rice Husk Newcomers: Piaçava Imbira Caroá 15

  18. Chemical Composition of Some Vegetable Fibres

  19. Main physical properties of cellulose based fibres compared with conventional synthetic fibres

  20. Fibers Composition 21

  21. Scientific and Technological Research? Important: Proprietary Technology Make available for LDC countries SciFnder

  22. Natural Fibers in Science • First publication word: 1892 • Natural Fibers: 8945 articles and books • Natural Fibers Composites: 980 • Biobased Composites: 94 • Nanocellulose: 29 • Patents: 4,400 So, reinventing the wheel? No: Aiming the State of the art!!!!!!!!

  23. Challenges Against NF • Mand made materials • Low technology image • Campbell Triangle • Wood cellulose • Pulp and Paper residues • Biofuel • LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) • Funding for R&D, (CNPq, FINEP and FAPESP) • People awareness (< 2%... Trex Corp.) • Social, Political and Economical Unrest • Subsidies and xenophoby • ....

  24. Itens Importance (Trex, 2011)

  25. Introduction • Global natural fiber composites market reached $2.1B in 2010, with compound annual growth rate of 15% in last five years • Automotive & Construction were largest segment among all natural fiber composite applications • Bast fiber such as flax, Kenaf, hemp, etc. were the material of choice for automotive, whereas wood plastic composite was most preferred by building and construction players

  26. Introduction • By 2016, natural fiber composite market expected to reach $ 3.8B (10% CAGR) • Rising prices of petroleum based products, strong government support to eco-friendly products, higher acceptance and positive growth of end use industries, new housing numbers will drive natural fiber composites growth to new horizon • Performance improvement in materials will drive growth for natural fiber composites in new application areas

  27. Evolution of Natural Fiber Composites

  28. External Forces Shaping the Natural Fiber Composites Industry

  29. Growth Opportunities of Natural Fiber Composites
