        abstract = {The growing need for sustainable construction materials has led to extensive research on green concrete, which integrates industrial and agricultural waste to promote environmental sustainability and resource conservation. This study focuses on evaluating the mechanical, durability, and microstructural characteristics of concrete incorporating bottom ash (BA) as a partial cement replacement, sugarcane bagasse fiber (SCBF) as reinforcement, and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic pellets as a substitute for coarse aggregate. Various mix compositions were prepared to analyze their impact on concrete performance. In this research, bottom ash was consistently used as a 20% replacement for cement, while sugarcane bagasse fiber was introduced at 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75% of cement weight. HDPE plastic pellets were utilized as a fixed 15% replacement for coarse aggregate. The modified concrete mixtures were assessed based on their compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength. The findings demonstrated that the optimum combination was achieved with 20% bottom ash, 0.50% sugarcane bagasse fiber, and 15% HDPE replacement, yielding mechanical strength comparable to conventional concrete. However, excessive replacement levels resulted in a decline in mechanical performance due to increased porosity and weaker bonding between components.},
