In the pursuit of more sustainable products as temperatures rise, research and projects seek to mitigate the environmental impacts of consumption. Therefore, this research is based on experimentation and proposed uses for pine needles from Pinus trees, which are currently treated as waste by the forest sector, but which have great productive and commercial potential, in addition to being beneficial to nature, as they are a natural, biodegradable, and easily renewable material. Whole pine fiber was used as a binder for PU resin, which also has biodegradable properties and is a renewable source, for the production of composites, whose forms are subjected to testing and analysis to evaluate their productive and commercial potential. Considering the visual, physical, and olfactory aspects, the best composition was considered to provide alternatives for commercial use, leading this research to propose a decorative coating for indoor environments.Downloads
