The climate change, it is an extremely complex problem that is at the forefront of the most important environmental and economic problems of our age, and that has negative effects in every aspect of life, especially from health to agriculture. Due to climate change, it is important to prevent rapid consumption of natural resources for sustainable development. In this context, about 300 million tons of polymeric materials are produced every year around the world. However, none of the commonly used plastics has degradation in a short time by itself in nature. For these reasons, research on the development of biodegradable plastics gains importance in order to overcome the environmental problems caused by plastics. In the present study composites are produced by the addition of industrial hemp oil and the mussel shells powders in the matrix of PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol). PVA is a water- soluble, synthetic and thermoplastic polymer which is colorless, odorless, non- toxic and not polluting the environment. It has properties of adhesion, film formation, isolation and resistance to oils. Hemp is a fiber plant that obtains fiber from the hemp stem and oil from its seed. The provided powders and composites were analyzed by XRD, and SEM to observe crystal structure and particle morphology of the samples. In terms of the methods and materials used, it has been tried to obtain green and sustainable polymer products in accordance with the Green Deal, and Climate Change Plan.
