“…The melt-mixing process was performed for 25 min, with the spindle rotation direction changed every 15 min. Later, the obtained RPW-RWW composites with varied compositions were crushed into small pieces using a polymer crusher and processed in a microinjection moulder (Xplore instruments BV., Sittards, The Netherlands) [20] to obtain dumbbell-shaped specimens (ASTM D638 Type V) for further characterisation. The parameters used for injection moulding are presented in Table 2.…”

The depletion of natural resources due to the aggressive industrialization in the last decades has brought considerable attention to research aimed at developing green and sustainable products using eco-friendly materials. The purpose of the current study was to develop wood polymer composites (WPCs) using recycled plastic waste (RPW) generated from university laboratories and recycled wood waste (RWW) from construction and demolition (C&D) activities by melt-blending technique. The WPCs were characterised for their mechanical and thermal properties, as well as water uptake and morphology. The SEM micrograph indicated good interaction between RWW and RPW matrix. The mechanical strength of the WPCs was found to increase from 26.59 to 34.30 MPa, with an increase of the RWW content in the matrix. The thermal stability was higher in the composite with a higher percentage of RWW in the matrix. The wettability results indicated that the composite with a higher RWW (20%) had a higher water uptake. These results suggest that the produced WPCs can be a promising environmental-friendly material, while maintaining good mechanical, thermal, and wettability properties.

“…The results showed that Young's modulus, flexural strength, and water absorption increased with the increase of the filler. Wicaksono et al [20] studied the mechanical and physical aspects of PP and LDPE polymer waste for the production of WPCs. Teak wood powder was used as the filler material.…”

“…Wood-polymer composites (WPC) predominantly consist of a mixture of natural fibers or flours and polymer(s). They have been made from PP [60], PE [59], HDPE, PET, and LDPE [61]. They are generally used in decking, furniture, cladding, fencing, and paneling [59].…”

“…Wicaksono et al [61] used a combined recycled plastic and reclaimed wood waste using a melt-blending process. Mixtures with higher plastic concentration show lower water permeability, higher thermal stability, and better mechanical strength.…”

“…Overall, using recovered plastics in composite boards is another good way of reclaiming mixed waste, as these boards are made of particles of different kinds of materials [59]. However, some composites like LDPE-based wood composites have better physical and mechanical qualities than others like PP-based composites [61]. Also, mixed polyolefins have lower properties than recycled PP-and PE-based composite boards [60].…”

The impact of plastic pollution on the world and its inhabitants is yet to be fully measured. Significant quantities of microplastics and nanoplastics have been found in human organs, and many diseases have been traced to their presence. Even human placentas have been found to contain microplastics. This study examines the recycling landscape, advanced reprocessing techniques, and technical challenges in this industry. It points out the top recyclable types of plastics (such as high-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and thermoplastic elastomers) by analyzing their different recycling capacities globally. It highlights the most advisable recycling techniques by identifying those most successful, least environmentally damaging, and easiest. Mechanical recycling is arguably the easiest and most common recycling technique. This study examines mechanical reprocessing technologies for construction materials, composite boards, additive manufacturing, and other applications. It also points out prevailing setbacks of these approaches and analyzes different solutions. Promising recycling processes are suggested for further investigation.

This study makes use of inexpensive natural fibers like Acacia Mangium fiber and Teak wood powder. A unique hybrid composite specimen was made by combining epoxy as the matrix material (70%) and hardener as the reinforcement material (30%). The reinforcement material was NaOH chemically treated Acacia Mangium fiber and to further improve the properties, teak wood powder was added as a filler. The hand-lay method was used to make the composite material and made three specimen combinations with different ratios of reinforced material: 6%, 12%,18%, and 24%. In accordance with ASTM standards, the prepared specimen has undergone evaluation of its mechanical properties, including tensile, hardness compression, flexural and impact tests. Treated fiber samples demonstrate higher strength than untreated fiber composites, as shown by the examination of mechanical characteristics. The specimen has a hardness of 59.6Hv, an impact strength of 5.3 J/mm, a compressive strength of 103.25 MPa, a flexural strength of 79.97 MPa, and a highest tensile strength of 80.25 MPa. Specimens that have undergone chemical treatment have a greater water absorption percentage compared to untreated specimens. Vehicles, planes, buildings, athletics and even the home can all benefit from this innovative hybrid composite material.
