The use of green engineering materials represents a promising approach to sustainable development. This book explores various renewable materials and their properties, applications, and technological advancements driving their use in modern engineering and construction.

This book highlights the significance of green engineering materials in sustainable development and explains their effective use in engineering and construction. It covers bamboo as a rapidly growing renewable material in use with significant engineering potential, detailing its unique characteristics, preservation methods, and uses in construction. The book also investigates sustainable plant-based composites, focusing on biopolymer and biomass matrices, cellulose-based materials, lignin, polylactic acid, and natural rubber. It highlights the benefits of plant fibres like rice husk ash and jute while addressing the challenges in adopting these composites in engineering. Green concrete technologies like hybrid geopolymers and green additives and their manufacturing processes are also discussed. Following this, the book discusses bio-based adhesives and then explores the industrial potential of rice husk ash in applications including electronic devices, composites, and reinforced concrete. Palm oil and coconut shells are also examined as versatile renewable resources for various construction and development applications. Finally, the book emphasizes the importance of wood in construction, including its properties, treatment methods, and future trends in sustainable construction practices.
