Description: Plant-based materials are those derived from plant resources that are used as alternatives to traditional materials, such as plastics and metals, often with a lower environmental impact. These materials can include fibers, bioplastics, biocomposites, and other products obtained from agricultural crops. Their relevance lies in the growing need for sustainable solutions in a world facing significant environmental challenges, such as climate change and pollution. Being renewable, plant-based materials contribute to reducing dependence on non-renewable resources and decreasing carbon footprints. Additionally, their production can be more environmentally friendly, as many of these materials are biodegradable or recyclable, helping to minimize waste. In a context where sustainability has become a global priority, plant-based materials are gaining ground in various industries, from fashion to construction, offering innovative and responsible alternatives that promote a greener future.
