Exploring the Potential of <i>Posidonia oceanica</i> Fibers in Eco-Friendly Composite Materials: A Review by Cristiano Fragassa, Ana Pesic, Sara Mattiello, Ana Pavlovic, Carlo Santulli

“…Experimental results demonstrate that <i>Posidonia oceanica</i> fibers, especially when treated with alkali and silane, or combining both treatments, can exhibit mechanical properties quite comparable to other natural fibers, namely to those obtained from grass species. As with any other type of waste, yet with more interest for its wide accumulation over the coastal line, the use of <i>Posidonia oceanica</i> in composites may contribute to reducing the environmental footprint of these materials, aligning with circular economy principles. …”
