The present invention relates to fire resistant sustainable sandwich panels comprising a thermoplastic foam core in between outer skins made of natural fibres set within a natural thermoset biopolymer. The sandwich panels are provided with a fire resistant protective coating on an outer surface. This surface may be the surface facing the cabin when installed in an aircraft interior. Such fire resistant sustainable panels provide the required flame and heat resistance, have a high strength-to-weight ratio, low maintenance costs and are generally easily installed. Furthermore, the fire resistant sustainable sandwich panels allow easy recycling and are cheaper than conventional sandwich panels.
