In general, such agro-based materials are only used as feed for livestock and not as load bearing materials. Therefore, grass reinforced composites have an excellent potential to be used as fibers. There are plenty of grass resources. Elephant grass-based biocomposites are of interest for automotive applications.

The employment of natural fibres, such as cellulose pulp, sisal, bamboo, hemp, flax, jute, ramie fibres, etc., is restricted to countries where these fibres are easily available. They are important constituents of structural elements used for construction of inexpensive buildings in developing regions of the world (Coutts, 2005). In Africa, sisal fibre-reinforced concrete has been nsed extensively for making roof tiles, corrugated sheets, pipes, silos, and gas and water tanks. Subrahmanyam (1984) cited the application of elephant grass... 

Other plants with fibres applicable for reinforcement are sugarcane bagasse, akwara, elephant grass, water reed, plantain and musamba (Aziz et al. 1981).
