Abstract: A hybrid reinforced composite material which fundamentally contains horticulture squander materials like banana stem outer layer (Musa sepientum) modified to powder form, egg shell modified to fine powder ,the said powders (powder have a size in a range of 10 to 50 microns) being mixed in a matrix of bio epoxy resin using a catalyst to effect complete mixing of the said powdered fibers to yield the said hybrid reinforced composite, the said hybrid composite capable of being molded to any geometrical object, the said composite having a low water retention property with retention being in a range of 14-23% with a soaking time of 120 hrs. Before and after chemical treatment in both with and without moisture, the youngs modulus varies from 12321.5241 N/mm2 to 25779.2532 N/mm2 , the flexural values varies from 17.4 N/mm2 to 25.5 N/mm2 ,impact strength varies from 12.6 J to 20.9 J , % of elongation varies from 5.6% to 10.1%. The composite has negligible change in tensile properties up to a load of 270 Kg also flexural properties and impact strength of the composite were not be affected by under moisture conditions.
