Abstract: This study discusses the influence of natural fiber type on the performance of polypropylene and its recycle. Composites consisting of polypropylene (PP) and natural fiber from wood (Acacia mangium), water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes), kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), banana (Musa paradisiaca) and empty fruit bunch of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) were prepared by extrusion and compression process based on the ratio of 50:50% (w/w) with the addition of 2.5% polypropylene modified with maleic anhydride (MAPP). The effect of fiber type on the composites was evaluated. Physical and mechanical properties were studied. The composite showed significantly different properties based on the fiber type. Kenaf filled composite showed high tensile strength, break strain and modulus of elasticity properties but least absorbed water. Banana fiber filled propylene composite is comparable with that of kenaf. In general, recycle polypropylene can replace virgin polypropylene since their natural fibers filled composites showed similar mechanical and physical properties.
