POTENTIALS OF SAWDUST AND DISPOSED WATER SACHET WASTES FOR WOOD PLASTIC COMPOSITE PRODUCTION

The study investigated the potential of sawdust and disposed water plastics for production wood plastic composite. was obtained from plank market in Yola, while, sachets were hand-picked within Modibbo Adama University premises. gathered sieved into 1.0 2.0 mm particle sizes, thoroughly mixed with already melted sachet at a ratio 1:25 (100: 2500 ml) 1:30 (100:3000 respectively,. mixtures heated (105.20 C,) then filled an constructed oiled Aluminum mold size 1.5 x 6 15 cm. Pressure applied two hours to compress composite before removal mold. samples trimmed according sample requirement, mechanical physical property properties tests. results revealed that, produced 2mm particles has highest mean hardness (14.99 ± 3.54 MPa), impact strength (1.24 0.12 J) 1 1:30, absorption percentage (2.27 0.132 ) 2 1:25.The Analysis variance conducted shows mixing had significant effect on both (p < 0.05). demonstrated that use waste
