•A comprehensive review about wood plastic composites made from recycled plastics.•Essential properties of waste and recycled plastics which are important in WPCs manufacturing.•Effect of recycled plastics on physical and mechanical properties of wood plastic composite.
The use of recycled and waste thermoplastics has been recently considered for producing wood plastic composites (WPCs). They have great potential for WPCs manufacturing according to results of some limited researches. This paper presents a detailed review about some essential properties of waste and recycled plastics, important for WPCs production, and of research published on the effect of recycled plastics on the physical and mechanical properties of WPCs.
