AB  - In this study, polypropylene-based thermoformed composites have been obtained using polyester woven fabric scraps
as reinforcement. Four types of matrix have been used for the experiments: biaxially oriented polypropylene bag waste
(BOPP), polypropylene nonwoven waste (TNT), 50/50 BOPP/TNT waste and virgin polypropylene fibres (PP). The
percentage of matrix has been varied at four levels: 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. The effect of matrix/reinforcement mass
ratio and matrix type on the mechanical properties of composite materials has been studied. Since the composite
materials are intended to replace the oriented strand boards (OSB) in construction and furniture applications,
comparison with the characteristics of 8 mm OSB has been made.
