520			_aPlastic straw creates a significant problem in the environment when not recycled, reused, or disposed of properly. This is the central dilemma the humankind is facing right now. Recycling of these plastic straws to make another product will lessen the adverse effects on the environment and help to develop an alternative composite material. In this project study, the particleboard was prepared using a plastic straw and polyester resin at a ratio of 50:50, 55:45, and 60:40, respectively. Physical and mechanical properties of the board were investigated in this study. As shown on the tangible property test results, composites of 60.00% plastic straws and 40.00% polyester resin have exhibited the highest absorption of water and swelling of thickness. For mechanical property test results, all mix designs have passed the face screw holding tests surpassing the 30.00 kg Philippine National Standards, modulus of rupture of 80.00 kg per square centimetre and internal bond test of 2.00 kg per cubic meter. Therefore, as stated in the results presented, the particleboard in this study is acceptable as an alternative building material.
