The paper is devoted to the properties of the wood-polymer composite based on polyethylene and barley straw. The effect of a mineral additive, namely shungite powder with a particle size of less than 20 microns, was studied. The developed composites were obtained on a laboratory two-rotor batch mixer. The mechanical and rheological properties of the composites (tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, water absorption, density, effective viscosity and modulus of elasticity) have been studied. It has been shown that the adding of shungite powder contributes to increase in the composites mechanical properties, in particular, the tensile strength increases. With an increase in the concentration of shungite, the viscosity of the composition melt decreases. The obtained thermoplastic materials can be used in construction and furniture production, as well as in the automotive industry.

“…Therefore, to improve the adhesion of the polymer to the wood filler, binding agents are introduced into the composition of the WPC during the processing stage. WPC additionally contain functional additives that improve the operational properties of products, increase consumer qualities and presentation of products [23][24][25][26].…”

“…It was also found that at 6 wt% of PE‐ g ‐MAH, maximum tensile strength and Young's modulus were achieved 40 . A conflicting result for the mechanical properties of natural‐fiber‐reinforced rHDPE was observed 19,56 . While the tensile strength has been degraded, a progression in the tensile modulus of developed banana/rHDPE eco‐composites was observed as compared to the virgin and recycled polymers 19 .…”

Owing to economic and environmental benefits, new generations of materials/commodities follow “from waste to wealth” strategy. Recently, there has been a huge upsurge in research on the development of eco‐composites using recycled plastic polymers and agro‐residues because the eco‐composites satisfy the stringent environment regulations and are cost‐effective. Herein, we present a detailed review on the potential use of several types of natural fillers as an efficient reinforcement for recycled plastic polymers. In particular, the characterization of different categories of eco‐composites according to their morphological, physical, thermal, and mechanical properties is extensively reviewed and their results are analyzed, compared, and highlighted. Furthermore, a framework to produce functional eco‐composites, which includes functionalization of ingredients, critical issues on microstructural parameters, processing, and fabrication methods, is outlined and supported with sufficient data from the literature. Finally, the review outlines the emerging challenges and future prospects of eco‐composites to be addressed by interested researchers to bridge the gap between research and commercialization of such a class of material. Overall, the acquired knowledge will guide researchers, scientists, and manufacturers to plan, select, and develop various forms of eco‐composites with enhanced properties and optimized production processes.

“…However, the addition of natural plant-based fibres to recycled plastics to form wood-plastic composites (WPC) is gaining popularity as they are considered to be a sustainable and green material. Examples of plant-based fibres include wood, bamboo, pine, kenaf, cellulose, pineapple fibre, and hemp [228][229][230][231][232][233][234]. Plant fibres are cheap, readily available, and biodegradable [234], but they do possess challenges in processability due to fibre agglomeration and fibre breakage, degradation during processing and the WPC lifetime, incompatibility with hydrophobic matrices, and lifetime, which results in poor composite performance.…”

Polyolefins and Polyethylene Terephthalate Package Wastes: Recycling and Use in Composites

Plastics are versatile materials used in a variety of sectors that have seen a rapid increase in their global production. Millions of tonnes of plastic wastes are generated each year, which puts pressure on plastic waste management methods to prevent their accumulation within the environment. Recycling is an attractive disposal method and aids the initiative of a circular plastic economy, but recycling still has challenges to overcome. This review starts with an overview of the current European recycling strategies for solid plastic waste and the challenges faced. Emphasis lies on the recycling of polyolefins (POs) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which are found in plastic packaging, as packaging contributes a signification proportion to solid plastic wastes. Both sections, the recycling of POs and PET, discuss the sources of wastes, chemical and mechanical recycling, effects of recycling on the material properties, strategies to improve the performance of recycled POs and PET, and finally the applications of recycled POs and PET. The review concludes with a discussion of the future potential and opportunities of recycled POs and PET.
