Rezumat: The scientific researches to get more environmentally friendly and also cheaper, and more sustainable materials that can be differently exploited have been encouraged by the increase in environmental awareness. Industrial hemp stands between the strongest natural fibers availabletheir main advantage is low cost material and low energy requiring material in production. more environmentally friendly and innovative material. The composite material can have different fiber structure- long or short fibers can be oriented long or short parallel, long or short random, or cross-ply. Eco- composites can be combined by natural fiber and biodegradable polymer matrix. Also the biodegradable matrices can be bought as commercial products and, what is more, the price of these materials is higher and that is one of the largest restrictions for their wider using. Analysis starts with the extracting process of the fiber, then comes the using phase and recycling. In the paper there is showed possible usage of hemp components in the structure of conventional composites and biodegradable composites that will be used for office interior and equipment. There are also showed results of the researches to create new board material that are planned to be used in furniture and equipment production for usage in public sector so replacing the traditional materials.
