The aim of this article is to demonstrate the importance of innovation not only for the development of the economy of various nations, but also as an instrument for transforming and improving the quality of life on the planet through technological development that reduces environmental impacts, especially composite materials developed from natural fibres. This discussion is justified by the growing relevance of the issue of sustainability in recent decades, aggravated by the lack of raw materials and the various environmental catastrophes that have occurred in different parts of the world due to global warming. In view of this, government organisations and organised civil society have been looking for solutions to environmental problems through concrete actions to reduce environmental degradation. Words like reuse, recycle, collect and treat have become part of most people's vocabulary. Exploring nature takes on a new meaning, unrelated to any form of destruction. Within this context of sustainability, research involving the development of materials found in abundance in nature has gained prominence. Among them, composites reinforced by plant fibres have emerged as an ecologically and economically viable innovation to replace other types of synthetic fibres.
