Rezumat: Turkey is a land of cotton fibres furthermore cotton fabric production. In recent years, glass fibre fabric manufacture is rapidly developing in the country, as well. The production wastes of these two industries are re-used in various applications however the key aim of this preliminary work is to re- evaluate and combine these two very different waste fibers, namely cotton and glass, in a hybrid composite in order to design a more value added product. For this purpose, waste E-glass and cotton fibres were used as reinforcement in the polyester matrix in order to produce a hybrid composite by using compression moulding technique. Mechanical analyses including impact resistance, tensile strength and hardness tests were investigated. For micro-structural analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also carried out as an instrument. Consequently, cotton and E-glass fiber fabric wastes can be recycled for making more value added products in the future.
