Abstract

Natural fiber-reinforced composites have attracted interest along with public and industry awareness of the depletion of non-renewable material resources. Considerations of environmental friendliness and low cost have provided a stimulus for researchers to identify green materials that provide a low pollutant index. The high cellulose content in sugarcane bagasse is quite attractive in manufacturing composite materials due to abundant raw materials and low processing costs. Based on their characteristics, sugarcane bagasse composites have advantages in the form of being more flexible, high strength, high tensile strength, easy to shape and adjust, and cheaper. Therefore, the composite of sugarcane bagasse biopolymer can be developed in this era and the future generation. The main ingredients for making biocomposites from sugarcane bagasse are sugarcane bagasse, additional strengthening agents, bonding agents, and alkali. This composite will have strong, flexible, and adaptable properties if processed properly. Composites from sugarcane biopolymer waste can be applied in various sectors such as construction, food, furniture, automotive, and health. Using sugarcane bagasse as a renewable composite material will support various engineering that can be carried out from the process of utilizing sugarcane bagasse waste to manufacture environmentally friendly materials.
