The present invention related to composited articles for a sunshade and methods for producing the composite articles. The composite article comprises a reinforcing substrate layer including a fiber phase and a polymer phase; and a cover stock layer. The fiber phase may be a discrete phase or a continuous phase and includes one or more natural fiber. The concentration of natural fibers is about 60 weight percent or more, based on the total weight of the reinforcing substrate layer. The polymer phase has a glass transition temperature of about 100° C. or more. The concentration of the polymer phase should be sufficiently high so that it forms a continuous phase. For example, the concentration of the polymer phase may be about 10 weight percent or more, based on the total weight of the reinforcing substrate layer. The reinforcing substrate layer may have a thickness of about 4 mm or less.
A composite article for a sunshade comprising:
