Banana fiber at present is a waste product of banana cultivation. Moreover, without any additional cost input. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of pseudo-stem banana fibers in the woven fabric configuration on the mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester composite. It was found that the addition of pseudostem banana woven fabric increased in the impact, compression, and flexural strength. The results showed that the impact strength on the pseudostem banana woven fabric reinforced (UP) composite is increased by 22% compared to virgin (UP), while flexural and compression strength on the composite is increased by 15% and 12% respectively.
