Abstract. Recycled fiber has a great potential as a solution to meet overgrowing synthetic fiber demand and reduce plastic waste in the same time. In the previous research, bottle cap waste is used as the material of the recycled fiber. The result shows that fiber tenacity of recyled fiber from bottle cap waste has low tenacity, different polymer. This phenomena may have been caused by the present of pigment molecule. This research focused on producing recycled fiber from straw waste which has low pigment content. Straw waste was washed and cleaned before the cutting process. Then, the waste was processed in the experiment melt spinning machine with plunger system and single hole orifice in various diameter, 4 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm. The processing temperature was 140° C temperature in three take-up speed, 3.00 m/minutes, 10.30 m/ minutes and 19.16 m/ minutes. The diameter and cross section shape of recycled polyethylene fiber were obtained by using electric microscope with software assistance. The linear density of the recycled fiber was analysed by calculating it with denier and the mechanical strength of the fiber was measured in accordance with the ASTM D 3379-75 standard. High take-up speed leads to higher linear density and take-up speed value is proportionally linear with the tenacity of fiber produced. Moreover, the spinneret diameter is proportionally linear with linear density but it is inversely linear with the tenacity of the fiber produced.

“…1 Polypropylene (PP), used in industry for making plastic packages for food, plastic bags, lids, and labels, is one of the most commonly recycled materials. 3–5 Polymeric matrix composite materials may be produced with the matrix coming from this recycling process and can be reinforced with natural fibers, due to their resistance, low weight, and low cost properties. 6,7 Natural fibers, like sisal fibers, have numberless advantages in relation to synthetic fibers, mainly for being a renewable source and for being biodegradable.…”

The influence of hydrothermal carbonization of sisal fibers on the mechanical properties of composites based on recycled polypropylene matrices was investigated in this paper. The fibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The composites, with short fibers randomly distributed, processed by extrusion and injection processes, were characterized using quasi-static tensile and impact mechanical tests and scanning electron microscopy. The hydrothermal carbonized sisal fibers, proved by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, besides increasing the material's crystallinity, caused a larger adherence on the interface fiber/polymer matrix as verified in the scanning electron micrographs. The addition of 10% and 20% of 2 h hydrothermal carbonized sisal fibers treatment produced a composite with, respectively, an increase of 17.9% and 32.2%, on the modulus of elasticity, of 9.25% and 52.3% on the resistance to impact and of 19.06% and 29.85% on yield strength, in comparison to the recycled polypropylene. The hydrothermal carbonization technique changed the concept of recycling the polypropylene allowing new applications to the produced materials due to its mechanical properties.
