Composite in the environment context refers to materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties, that when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components. In environmental science, composites are particularly noted for their application in sustainable building materials, renewable energy systems, and pollution control technologies. These materials can offer enhanced strength, durability, and efficiency while potentially reducing environmental impact through the use of recycled materials and more sustainable production processes.
