Thermoset treated polylactide and hemp fiber bio-composites have high mechanical properties, which allow to reduce the amount of materials in the product. The developed bio-composite can be used both as a slab material and for molded parts of furniture, etc. Obtained material is biodegradable during the composting process, which improves the ecological assessment (Life Cycle Assessment) of the product and reduces the environmental impact.
