Due to light weight, high performance and excellent mechanical properties the composite material is considered as a key material in the 21st century. These are extensively used in many industries for structural usages, such as aerospace, aeronautical, sporting goods applications, home furniture, and automotive and medical devices, due to their desirable strength to weight properties. Objective: - To prepare reinforced epoxy resin bars with natural filaments (jute fibers, coconut fiber) as well as Plastic waste (Crush of bottles) by hand-lay-up method. Also to study tensile strength using Computer operated Universal Testing Machine. Method: - carbon fiber/epoxy resin composites will be prepared using the hand-lay-up method. For the destructive testing, a universal testing machine will be used to test the tensile strength of composite bars. Conclusion: Preparation and testing of epoxy resin composites are carried out and the prepared laminates exhibit good mechanical and physical properties. Hence, the laminates with natural filament and epoxy resin can be used in many industrial and commercial applications
