The use of Natural Fibre Composites (NFCs) in
automotive and building industries is growing
rapidly. NFCs are made from low cost, lighter and
more renewable natural fibres. This book explores
further potentinal of NFCs in developed and
developing countries, using materials that are
normally viewed as waste and simpler processing
methods. Using Canada and Lesotho for case studies,
raw materials and related institutional environment
are surveyed. Choice of materials and processing
methods for the composites are made on the basis
of the surveyed factors. Some of the selected fibres...

Needs and Feasibility: A Guide for Engineers in Community Projects -- The Case of Waste for Life is the story of Waste for Life (WFL). WFL is a not-for-profit organization that works to promote poverty-reducing solutions to environmental problems, and its educational branch is an international consortium of universities in six countries, involving students in support of community development projects.
