Abstract

This article presents study results of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) of composites fabricated by hot compression molding process. The research aimed to analyze volatile substances from recycled materials that were hazardous to health when developed as panel materials. The hypothesis assumed these composite materials emit harmful gases when recycling. Sampling sheets were derived from ground-used beverage cartons and recycled plastics mixed at 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50 wt% and then analyzed for VOCs regarding ISO 16000. The results showed that no VOCs were detected after recycling. The samples can be processed for indoor-used products further.
