Composites are one of the most widely used materials because they can adapt to a variety of situations. Other composites include metal matrix composites, nanocomposites, fiber composites, and hybrid composites, and are used in many industries. We are now focusing on creating environmentally friendly composites. Green composites are a special type of biocomposites with the addition of a bio-based polymer matrix. Natural fibers represent an area of polymer research. Green composite materials derived from biodegradable materials resources continue to attract widespread attention for environmental issues through integrated systems Plastics and global development require changes to fossil resources. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent events developments in products and applications of green composites. The application of green composites is still increasing transportation, sporting goods, home use, automobile, construction, etc. It is used every day in all areas. This review article also discusses the recent developments in different biodegradable polymers and bio composites. This article also discusses some recently developed green herbs and their mechanical properties and uses. Defines a new model in selecting natural fibers from waste rather than valuable crops.
