Use of recycled plastics
a b s t r a c t
The use of recycled and waste thermoplastics has been recently considered for producing wood plastic
composites (WPCs).
They have great potential for WPCs manufacturing according to results of some limited
researches.
This paper presents a detailed review about some essential properties of waste and recycled
plastics, important for WPCs production, and of research published on the effect of recycled plastics
on the physical and mechanical properties of WPCs.
