Possibility of using waste tire composites reinforced with oil palm frond as construction materials

Today,Malaysia is one of the largest countries planting palm tree worldwide.During the lifespan of this tree, there is abundance of fronds being trimmed and left there to biodegrade them by the nature which can affect the environment and the tree.Along with that,there is another waste produced resul...
