This study focuses on the development of eco-friendly composite materials using jute fiber and fly ash as reinforcement and filler within an epoxy matrix. The objective is to evaluate mechanical performance for potential use in automotive interior components. Composites were fabricated with a constant jute fiber content of 30 percent by weight, while fly ash was varied from 0 to 15 percent. Mechanical properties including tensile, flexural, and impact strength were examined using standardized testing procedures. Results indicate that the inclusion of fly ash improves stiffness and structural stability up to an optimum level. Beyond this level, performance reduction is observed due to particle clustering. The findings demonstrate that the developed composite offers a balance of strength, cost efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
