A blend composition of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate ‐co‐ valerate) and polylactide is used as a bioplastic matrix and reinforced with soy hull to engineer novel green composites. A comparative study with soy‐hull‐reinforced polypropylene composite system is performed. A compatibilizer is used to engineer the novel class of green composites with a balanced stiffness and toughness performance with the target to substitute PP‐based composites. The flexural and impact strength along with hydrophobicity of compatibilized composites are improved significantly over the noncompatibilized counterpart. The fiber/matrix interaction is investigated by SEM. These green composites have the potential to substitute PP‐based composites in some applications. magnified image
