Abstract
PVC cables, insulation wires have been a major contributor for total plastic waste generated. These cables are difficult to reuse. This report investigates on the PVC cables and finding its replacement with natural fibers reinforced polymer composites reducing 3% of total plastic waste. Plastic waste reduction and reuse has been a major outlook by researchers worldwide. In this report we have considered various natural fibers sandwiched with a matrix film to form a newer biodegradable product. Cables are further analyzed in ANSYS Workbench to check for their mechanical properties and characteristics in real time application.
