A lot of achievements of contemporary science are connected with green composites producing and properties investigation. Variations of matrices, reinforcement and their combinations are innumerable. This study is focused on polylactic acid based biocomposites exploitation properties (flexural strength and modulus, impact strength, microhardness and water uptake) investigation results. Different origin cellulose containing fibers (hemp, cotton, tetra package cellulose, and hard wood) without and with modification were used as reinforcement.
