  Abstract: The escalating carbon footprint, a consequence of dwindling natural resources and surging energy demand, necessitates immediate measures to mitigate environmental impact. This prompted the current study: to look at alternative manufacturing materials that could be utilized as a carbon-free substitute without compromising on mechanical properties. Basalt fiber was identified as a potential eco-friendly replacement to carbon fiber which has several advantages over carbon fiber and is entirely natural and biodegradable. …
