Abstract This chapter reports on the lifecycle assessment of the thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers composites reinforced with bamboo fibers. Several research works have reported that the bamboo reinforced polymers composites are biodegradable with environmental friendliness characteristic. Several chemical surface functionalization techniques have enhanced the properties of bamboo reinforced polymer composites. Keywords Composites · Lifecycle assessment · Bamboo · Thermoplastic polymers · Thermosetting polymers

materials were continuously developed and discovered through the stage of twentieth century and composites have identified as one of the materials, which revolutionized the concept of high strength and toughness. Therefore, the composites have become an essential component of our life and can be easily available everywhere in engineering industries, for example spacecraft, rubber tire, asphalt, etc. Bricks made from the straw and mud is amongst the classic examples of composites of past time. Composite is defined as the resultant material fabricated through the combination of two or more materials (having different chemically/physically states that may be polymers, metals and ceramics) to develop the superior properties as compared to the parental components (material which is present in a comparatively large amount as compared to other components in the domain) [1–5]. Bones, woods, muscles, tissues, teeth, etc. are the common examples of composites that are found in nature. Most commonly used composites consist of fibers or particles reinforced in the matrix domain. Composites are any multiphase materials that are made up of two or more chemically dissimilar elements, which have a discrete interface that separates them. In composites, continuous phase surrounds one or more discontinuous phases. Generally, the discontinuous phase is relative
