Abstract: Jute fibre-reinforced composites have emerged as a promising alternative to synthetic fibre composites due to their environmentally friendly characteristics, cost-effectiveness, and satisfactory mechanical properties. The growing interest in jute-based thermoplastic composites is largely driven by rising environmental concerns and issues related to pollution. Jute fibres are inexpensive, widely available, and possess adequate mechanical performance. Research into natural fibres and their composites has increased significantly in recent years, largely due to the environmental risks associated with synthetic fibre-based materials. Jute fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites have found extensive use across various applications. These jute-based thermoplastics offer improved mechanical and physical properties, which are generally superior to those of untreated jute fibre composites. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of jutebased thermoplastic composites, aiming to critically assess and discuss the most recent developments in this field. The paper covers several key aspects, including the structure, properties, morphology, chemical composition, limitations, and current applications of jute-based thermoplastic composites. These materials are increasingly being used in industries such as automotive and construction. The review is expected to provide a foundation for future research and innovation aimed at further enhancing the mechanical performance of jute fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites.
