AB  - A new kind of wood plastic composite (WPC) was produced by compounding nonmetals 
      from waste printed circuit boards (PCBs), recycled high-density polyethylene 
      (HDPE), wood flour and other additives. The blended granules were then extruded 
      to profile WPC products by a conical counter-rotating twin-screw extruder. The 
      results showed that the addition of nonmetals in WPC improved the flexural 
      strength and tensile strength and reduced screw withdrawal strength. When the 
      added content of nonmetals was 40%, the flexural strength of WPC was 23.4 MPa, 
      tensile strength was 9.6 MPa, impact strength was 3.03 J/m(2) and screw 
      withdrawal strength was 1755 N. Dimensional stability and fourier transform 
      infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of WPC panels were also investigated. Furthermore, 
      thermogravimetric analysis showed that thermal degradation of WPC mainly included 
      two steps. The first step was the decomposition of wood flour and nonmetals from 
      260 to 380 degrees C, and the second step was the decomposition of HDPE from 440 
      to 500 degrees C. The performance and thermal behavior of WPC produced by 
      nonmetals from PCBs achieves the standard of WPC. It offers a novel method to 
      treat nonmetals from PCBs.
