In recent years, much attention has been paid to the efficient use of renewable plant materials in industrial and chemical technologies. At the present stage, the use of agricultural and household waste to obtain expensive industrial products is one of the pressing issues of the consumer market. Like other developing countries, Georgia has the opportunity to use local natural raw materials and commercially unsuitable polymer waste to produce various products with different performance properties. The article reviews thermos­gravimetric studies of biomaterials modified with organic silicon and polymer compounds from plant fiber ("Yucca gloriosa"). Several studies of thermal decomposition properties of various biopolymer composites reinforced with natural fibers were conducted. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed the effect of organic compounds on the thermal stability of the composite material. The modification improved the physical and mechanical properties of the samples.
