Cover Story: Agricultural crop residues are increasingly considered as potential reinforcements for sustainable composites. Natural fibers extracted from these biomasses offer biodegradability, renewability, and potential environmental benefits. However, their performance strongly depends on extraction processes, surface modification, and processing steps. Therefore, it is essential to measure the emissions associated with these systems before asserting sustainability advantages. In this work, flax, jute, kenaf, and bagasse fibers were extracted and treated with an eco-friendly sodium bicarbonate solution. The treated fibers were reinforced with PLA matrix for biocomposite fabrication via injection molding. The environmental impact of natural fiber-reinforced biocomposites was evaluated using LCA.
