ABSTRACT
Now-a-days everyone is aware of the disadvantage of Plastic and its various products. Around 300-400 tonnes of plastic waste is generated every year. This also results in man environmental pollution as well as human health issues. But, this doesn’t mean that we completely don’t need plastic. It has much application in the field of composites which is trending as well as a good alternative of wood. Composite materials have significant strength as well as stiffness. They are also light in weight and long lasting. But, its application is limited to some fewer areas. On the other hand, wood have high straight compare to composite materials but come with disadvantage like hydrophobic material, on-fireproof, on-termite resistant. But when you mix plastic and wood we get wood-plastic composite eliminating many disadvantages of plastic as well as wood. Here, we have manufactured WPC considering different composition of composite as well as wood (60-40%, 70-30%, and 80-20%). Composites used are High-Density Poly-Ethylene (HDPE), Low-Density Poly-Ethylene (LDPE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).Further after manufacturing of WPC testing of WPC was carried out. Different Types of Mechanical, Physical and chemical test were carried out.
