This paper deals with wood plastic composites manufactured using ACQ and MCQ-treated wood fibers recovered from a wood treatment plant. The goal was to investigate the effect of coupling treatments on the properties of manufactured wood plastic composites (WPCs) through injection molding and to manufacture co-extruded WPC with treated wood fibers. The result demonstrated sound mechanical properties and improved biological performance of both injection-molded and profile extruded WPCs with treated wood materials. The process offers a practical way to recycle treated wood into value-added composites.
