The aim of this work is the development of composite pipes using renewable resources. The pipes, manufactured by filament winding technology, were obtained using an epoxy resin crosslinked with a cardanol based novolac as matrix and jute fibres as reinforcement. Cardanol is a natural oil extracted from the shell of the cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) nut. An amount of natural materials higher than 50% by weight was achieved in the final composites. Tensile and parallel plate compression tests were carried out on the composite pipes.
