Preparation, characterization, and life cycle assessment of banana rachis-recycled high-density polyethylene composites

Abstract Agro-industrial wastes are sustainable resources that have advantages as a reinforcement for polymeric matrices. This study examined the use of banana rachis fiber (BRF) in reinforcing the recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) matrix. For this purpose, polymer composites with 5–20 wt%...
