just discovered a plant fibre in my neighbourhood which is used

can anybody help me with tips on how to improve this small finding
of mine.

Try doing a Google search on jute + fiber + plastic,
and then maybe another search using the alternative
spelling "fibre". There's lots of information on using
jute fiber as a reinforcing filler, and much of it is
probably relevant to your work.
