Production of wood-plastic composites using cedrela odorata sawdust waste and recycled thermoplastics mixture from post-consumer products - A sustainable approach for cleaner production in Cuba

This research aims to evaluate the application of technological efficiency to industrial waste, in the production of wood plastic composite. The raw materials used were sawdust from Cedrela odorata L., thermoplastic polyethylene terephthalate, high density polyethylene, polypropylene and calcium carbonate. The boards were obtained by extrusion using different proportions of raw material and their physical-mechanical properties were also...
