This study proposes locally available and environment-friendly Algerian palm (Washingtonia filifera) waste fibers to develop biocomposites. Waste (WPFs) were chosen as an effective high-intensity polyethylene (HDPE) reinforcement material create WPF/HDPE WPFs treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution improve their adhesion the HDPE matrix. Tensile strength Young's modulus evaluated using mixes generated by response surface methodology (RSM). Based on RSM, central composite design was used investigate effect of various parameters tensile properties cured The biocomposites influenced variables such NaOH (0–3%), fiber treatment duration (0–24 h), WPF content (0–30% (wt.)). RSM shows that increases significantly a concentration 3%, 10.12 h, maximum 30% (wt.) in WPFs. experimental validation reveals these values correlate predicted error less than 3.55%.
