Green polymer from waste cooking oils is successfully converted into high functionality of hydroxylated green monomer. The green monomer was used crosslinker and known as Green Polymer. Green Polymer is compounded with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). These wastes to wealth green polymer are successfully compounded with HDPE and LDPE by melt-mixing used an injection molding machine known as Pro-GreP. The effect of different ratio of compounding materials on the mechanical properties of Pro-GreP was studied by tensile test. Morphological of surface fracture with magnification 100x on Pro-GreP is revealed the homogenous characteristic with high compatibility properties. Finally, the presence of biopolymer provide biodegradable properties, but it also improves the mechanical properties. It can be showed that the tensile strength and tensile strain is decreased than the neat thermoplastic and they were found to decreased with the increasing of biopolymer compounds. However, LDPE are lower in tensile strength and tensile strain than HDPE.
