Manufacturing and Processing Methods of Biocomposites

Global measures for reducing the levels of CO2 gas, which has been identified as a cause of global warming, have begun to be implemented as discussed in the Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP). Since resin parts are manufactured from fossil fuels in most processes, the regulations that control the use of the fossil fuels are being enforced. For example, the resin waste produced in a factory has to be necessarily recycled. Furthermore, once poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bottles and automobile bumpers are commercially marketed, they are collected again at the end of their useful life for recycling in factories. They are used as raw materials for other products by being combined with other materials or by modifying and improving their properties.
