The printing industry provides flex banners as a noteworthy product. Flex banners find widespread use in promotions while serving multiple events since they demonstrate greater durability and sun protection compared to other fabric banners. The banners originate from distinct regions as the China Flex Banner (FC) and Korean Flex Banner (FK). Flex banner advertisements with promotional content receive their length of use from permitting specifications issued for advertising purposes. Flex banner wastes degrade slowly since these plastic products make up the banner materials. Once flex banners become unnecessary for use they generate significant waste which demands proper sustainable waste management solutions. The reduction of Flex banner waste needs a solution that includes glass fiber reinforcement for its use in hybrid composite materials. Each type of flex banner has its own characteristics in the shape of the fiber surface which can have an impact on strength when used as a composite material. The research showed that fiberglass would boost the composite mechanical properties. The FC type of reinforcement achieved maximum impact and flexural strength according to this research. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
