This work deals with the development and characterization of biodegradable polymer composites based on of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and wood waste (WW) post-consumer waste. Wood waste resulting from wood processing into finished products is cryogenically ground to min. 500 nm, mechanically functionalized at temperature with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (7%) and compounded in varying proportions (10%, 20%, 50%). The new composite is biodegradable due to the compounding with wood fibers, have low density and implicitly the products made from, a lower weight, reduced costs and recover waste. Soles for shoes will be processed by injection using these materials.
