The word hybrid composite defines the composite containing more than one type of fiber material as reinforcing fillers or additives. It has become an attractive property of hybrid composite than single fiber containing composite. Natural fiber hybrid composites are providing eco-materials to the world which has gained key importance in preserving our environment. Due to excess availability of industrial, agricultural, mining, and domestic solid wastes from the primary process, the environmental and ecological storing and disposal problems are created. In order to safeguard the environment, solid waste materials are used as good fillers for making natural fiber polymeric composites to improve its mechanical and moisture properties.
