Overview
ABSTRACT
Fibres called “agro-sourced” come from renewable materials (agro-resources) that provide the basic compounds necessary for energy, chemicals and materials. These fibers are of various origins, and are of great interest; providing an ideal solution for industrialists by becoming a significant alternative to petrochemical products. This article presents agro-sourced fibers in more detail before focusing more specifically on their mechanical and physical properties. Sorting, recycling such fibers as well as their biodegradability are also reviewed.
Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

INTRODUCTION
Oil supply difficulties or the desire to use less polluting products (CO 2 emissions) are driving manufacturers to find an alternative to products of petrochemical origin. So-called "agrosourced" fibers are derived from agroresources, in other words, plants (renewable materials), which provide the basic compounds needed for energy, chemistry and materials (Ademe definition).
These fibers, which can be of various origins (natural, artificial or synthetic, particularly bioplastics), represent a highly promising solution.
