Abstract
Management and treatment of plastic waste can mitigate adverse impacts on environment process and human health. The aim of the present study was to develop and characterise polymeric composite waste plastic pellets by means of hand lay-up process techniques. The new materials will be used for manufacturing floor tiles that are environmentally friendly, light but still technically qualified, and are expected to replace the ceramic tiles that are relatively heavy. The recycled plastic are converted into small sized pellets forms by pelletizing process. Plastic resin pellets are small granules generally with shape of a cylinder or a disk with a diameter of a few mm. These waste plastic pellets and teak wood fine powder are particles of the composite, which its improving the mechanical properties of laminated composites. This paper presents an overview of the mechanical properties and durability of recycled mixed plastic waste composites. Several composite materials were prepared by changing a composition along with 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of recycled pellets aggregate.
