Waste Plastics is one of the most important problem in today’s modern world, and it is not only causing environmental issues, but the disposal of waste plastics is also turning out to be a crisis. The key aim of this research effort is to develop different types of products using plastic lumber which is made from commingled waste plastics. The product, plastic lumber is developed by using Washing and Shredding machine and Two stage Extruder-Injection Molding Machine, and the product plastic lumber is developed with different composition of commingled (mixed) waste plastics, along with rubber powder as reinforcement and fly ash as filler material. The solution is to use the waste plastic lumbers in development of useful products like pallets, signpost, fences, barricades, chair, table, bench and other outdoor furniture etc. The building materials formed out of waste plastic lumbers are not only beneficial to the environment but are also durable, strong and cheaper and reduces the usage of wood. The results and outcomes of this work will be used for further development of plastic lumbers in the planned waste segregation and processing facility.
