Paper and Plastic Waste Composite Boards for Furniture

Original language description

This article focuses on the use of wastepaper and plastic material which is used for creating composite material - paper-plastic boards. The idea of using cardboard as a material for furniture is valuable because of its sustainability. There is a lot of wastepaper which would no longer have other use. There are companies which are using cardboard for 100 % sustainable furniture. The paper which is used is packaging material or other cardboard taken from recycling companies. Second material which works as a binder for paper boards is re-used plastic material from a company production. Different types of postfactory a postconsumer plastic is used for creating the boards. The goal of this project is to create boards which are made with high temperature and pressed by single opening hydraulic press. After the pressing the boards are climatized and their physical and mechanical properties are tested and compared with industrially manufactured boards and with another composite boards made from waste material. The testing is done according to the European standards. The most important tests for the use as furniture parts are bending strength and modulus of elasticity, internal bond, screw withdrawal resistance, swelling in thickness and water absorption. After the testing and comparison with other materials, the results are used for design of furniture which is used in interior. Mostly the material can be used as a desk for table or storage furniture.
