Abstract
This paper examines the main physical and mechanical properties ofaged and non-aged polymer composites made of a matrix filled with 10% fiberized or chopped old newspaper oxo-degradable into polypropylene. The impact of the modification of the filler with a polyvinyl acetate water dispersion and with carboxymethyl cellulose on the properties of the extrudedflatfoil made of composites was studied. Adding a lignocellulosefiller worsens the properties of the products obtained, but significantly accelerates the degradation of the composite material. The used filler modifiers improve the examined physical and mechanical properties, but increase the weather resistance of the foil products.
