Abstract

The aim of this study is to produce next generation of sustainable building materials by using wood veneers and waste plastics. In this study, plywood was produced using poplar (Populus Euphratica) veneer and waste high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Four different high-density polyethylene amounts were used (170 g/m², 200 g/m², 240 g/m² and 280 g/m²). Some technological properties such as density, modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and impact bending (IB) were investigated according to Turkish standards TS EN 323, TS EN 310, TS EN 310 and TS 2477, respectively. According to obtained data, the density, MOR, MOE and IB values are increased by increasing the usage rate of HDPE in composite production.
