This article investigated the water resistance, mechanical and thermal properties, and the microstructure of wood-plastic composites, which were made by hot pressing using either virgin or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as industrial waste with wood filler. The waste polyethylene was collected from residues of polymer production from Petrochemical plant, and wood particles were obtained from a local sawmill. The mechanical and thermal properties of the composites based on waste polyethylene were lower to those based on virgin HDPE, and the water resistance was shown to be higher. Adding ethylene maleated anhydride copolymer (MP) by 0.5-1.5wt% in the composite formulation significantly improved both the stability and mechanical properties. Microstructure analysis of the fractured surfaces of MP modified composites confirmed improved interfacial bonding.
