Abstract

The growing pressure on urban drainage systems caused by blockages and environmental pollution highlights the importance of developing sustainable filtration materials. This study explores the use of coffee waste as an environmentally friendly filler integrated into polyester fabric (PE 24S) to create a green filtration medium for drainage applications. The research focuses on developing and characterizing the composite material through macro-photographic morphology analysis, tensile strength testing, and antibacterial evaluation. The findings demonstrate that polyester fabric modified with coffee waste shows a tensile strength of 54.024 ± 5.498 MPa, elongation of 111.128 ± 6.915%, and a Young’s modulus of 0.486 ± 0.543 MPa, indicating improved flexibility and sufficient mechanical durability for drainage system use. Additionally, antibacterial testing reveals that the composite material can inhibit microbial growth due to the presence of natural bioactive compounds found in coffee waste. Overall, the results suggest that coffee waste–enhanced polyester fabric offers a sustainable and mechanically reliable alternative for environmentally friendly drainage infrastructure while supporting circular economy practices.

Abstract

The construction and infrastructure sectors are shifting toward lighter, low-emission, and sustainable materials in response to the high carbon footprint and excessive weight of common materials such as concrete and steel. One promising alternative widely developed is natural fiber–based composites. However, studies comparing mechanical properties of variations of natural fibers within a single framework remain limited. This study aims to evaluate and compare composite mechanical properties reinforced by sisal fiber, bamboo fiber, and pineapple leaf fiber to determine the optimal fiber type for sustainable infrastructure applications. The research methodology involved fabrication of composite specimens using a unidirectional fiber configuration with a resin matrix, molded following ASTM D638 Type I dimensional and geometrical requirements. Tensile testing was conducted to evaluate mechanical responses, including ultimate tensile behavior, deformation characteristics, and elastic properties, which were presented in tabular and graphical forms. The results show that incorporation of all natural fiber types significantly enhanced composite mechanical properties, exhibiting an average tensile strength of approximately 26 MPa. Pineapple leaf fiber demonstrated balanced mechanical behavior combining strength and ductility, while sisal fiber showed superior tensile resistance and rigidity. Bamboo fiber provided moderate mechanical improvement. Overall, natural fiber–reinforced composites demonstrate strong potential as environmentally friendly alternative materials for infrastructure applications, with mechanical characteristics adjustable based on reinforcing fiber type.
