abstract = "Today the world is looking at a bio-composites having eco environmental conditions, non hazardous to animals, easily recyclable, cost effective etc. In this regard many bio-composites were already developed with giving due Weightage to aforementioned parameters but nevertheless still there are plenty of issues exists. To address these issues such as degradation aspects, recyclability, durability, cost effectiveness and moderate to high load bearing capacities there require new and novel material compositions to meet the expectations. The current work focused on such issues catering to the requirements of biodegradation, ease of recycling, cost effect solution etc. The work is using Polylactic acid(PLA) as a substrate immersing vegetable waste peels such as lemon, potato and onion to test their strength and other mechanical properties. Pre-tension is one key feature which does enhance the characteristics of bio-composites in terms of physical and mechanical properties. The work with 20% inclusion of lemon peels in PLA has given 20% increase in strength and deformation reduced to 30% for pre-tensed fibers in the form of strands. Simulation tool Ansys workbench is used to evaluate and compare results with experimental of epoxy resin and PLA based coupons. The obtained results are in good agreement with experimental and analytical calculations.",
