Purpose: The first goal is to get rid of waste and reduce environmental pollution, and the other goal is to investigate the effect of these fibres on properties (resistance of composite materials for bending and tensile testing) of polyester and use them in applications. Also, The moisture environment effect on the properties of composite materials was studied. Design/methodology/approach: It uses natural fibres, which are considered waste, namely eggshell and sawdust with polyester. Several samples were prepared with different weight percentages (30% and 40%), and their mechanical properties were studied and immersed in water for 15 days. And studying the effect of water on these properties. It was found that it is possible to use these fibres (waste) with polyester and benefit from them. It was found that when adding fibres to polyester, the tensile strength decreases, but the bending increases the strength. Finally, it was found that when the samples are immersed in water, the material weakens, and its mechanical properties decrease. Findings: It can be noticed that adding natural fibres by 40% and 30% improved the mechanical properties of polyester in the bending test, where the bending test increased with increased volume fraction of fibre. It can be noticed that adding natural fibres by 40% and 30% decreased the mechanical properties (tensile strength) of polyester in a tensile test. When the natural composite materials were treated with water for 15 days, water decreased the mechanical properties in bending and tensile test. Research limitations/implications: One of the limitations of this research that was found through the work is that when increasing the weight ratios of the fibres added to polyester leads to the failure of polyester, so we recommend using lower weight ratios of fibre. Practical implications: One of the limitations of this research that was found through the work is that when increasing the weight ratios of the fibres added to polyester leads to the failure of polyester, so we recommend using lower weight ratios of fibre. Originality/value: The original value of this research is the use of fibres that are considered waste, their reuse, and utilization in some applications that do not require composite materials with high mechanical properties.
