Abstract

The eco-friendly wood plastics composite (WPC) made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) as the matrices and 80-mesh wood powder as the filler have been produced in various percentage composition, namely 85/15; 90/10; and 95/5 (w/w) using compounding process with xylene as the solvent of the plastics. Physical and mechanical properties have been investigated according to Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) A 5908 for particleboard. In this contribution, emphasizing on the WPC as the eco-friendly product has been discussed through their capability to degrade after grave yard test. Even though the result of weight loss for the WPC’s samples after buried in the soil for 50 days were very light, these results indicated that WPC has capability to decompose. In other words, products of WPC were environmentally friendly because they will deteriote after certain time buried in the soil although the composition of the plastics was majority.
