Innovations in new materials have been one of the key drivers in the rapid progress of technology during the past decades. The two best-known and widely-used examples being glass fiber and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP and CFRP), which are ubiquitous in many applications. However, neither of these materials have Green credentials. An alternative could be high performance biocomposite materials that have desired properties between GFRP and CFRP, are derived from sustainable materials and utilize greener, lower energy intensive production methods.
Enter the humble carrot.
