Resumen
This chapter reflects the key tendencies of cellulose fiber composites for construction applications. These materials represent an alternative to traditional materials in the construction industry that will be reflected in energy savings and emissions control, increasing the opportunity for recycling and reuse of building materials. Cellulosic fibers are commonly used to manufacture packing bags for agro-industry products, ropes, threads and handicrafts. Further research development to extend the use of these fibers in the construction sector is an issue of great worldwide importance because the construction industry uses large quantities of raw materials.
