The development and application of technologies will arguably be the major driving force for the evolution of world society in the first part of our new century. In medicine, agriculture, material science, communications and a host of other areas, new technologies promise unimaginable changes in our lives. And yet, in the midst of the euphoria surrounding this rush of invention, there is concern. When asked, people often say they are scared of what they do not know and scared of today's pace and power of invention. Putting aside the voice of the modern Luddite, it appears that while few want to stop the rush toward more and better technology, there is apprehension about the potential risks of the new technologies—risks that have not been sufficiently considered.

Bio fibres have recently become eye-catching to researchers, engineers and scientist as an alternative reinforcement for FRP (fibre reinforced polymer) composite. Due to their low cost, fairly good mechanical properties, high aspect strength .Three to four ton of human hair fibre wasted in India annually .These fibre pose an environmental challenge In order to find commercial application the wasted human hair fibre mixed with polypropylene. Polypropylene based composite are prepared using hair fibre obtained from human hair. Human hair fibres are mixed into polypropylene (PP) at 3,5,10 and 15 % by wt. using two roll mills. The composite are compression moulded at specific time and temperature. Polypropylene and hair fibre polymer reinforced composite have better flexural and impact strength than PP (Polypropylene) and lower the tensile strength of polypropylene and hair fibre polymer reinforced composite than (PP) polypropylene.
