Most new non-wood fiber crops are being developed with the intent to provide a new source of fiber for traditional fiber uses (e.g., paper, packing materials, fiberboard, bedding, etc.). However, many of these crops could also potentially be used to produce new composite fiber materials (i.e., hybrid fiber-plastic materials) as well as a cellulose feedstock for bioenergy and bioproduct production. A number of crops have been identified as possible candidates, but most development efforts have focused on kenaf and Hesperaloe.
