The growing demand for sustainable materials has driven the exploration of natural fibers as eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic reinforcements composites. This study investigates potential Posidonia oceanica, an abundant marine biomass, which is often be stacked on backshore and used so far energy recovery low-value applications, a filler possible reinforcement in cementitious polymer Most applications are concentrated Mediterranean area focused construction industry. However, its introduction composites, especially source cellulose or combination with use bio-based matrices, can also proposed. With this aim, physical chemical properties oceanica need characterized, their compatibility various matrices needs evaluated. Experimental results demonstrate that fibers, when treated alkali silane, combining both treatments, exhibit mechanical quite comparable other namely those obtained from grass species. As any type waste, yet more interest wide accumulation over coastal line, composites may contribute reducing environmental footprint these materials, aligning circular economy principles. review highlights dual benefits utilizing biomass by advancing material sustainability while not being detrimental waste management.
