520			_aWaste material like plastic bag and waste from polyester fabric can cause a severe problem not only in our health but also in our environment because of its properties that cannot be decomposed. The fibers’ size also permits them to be quickly consumed by fish and other wildlife. These plastic fibers have the possible to bioaccumulate; concentrating toxins in the bodies of larger animals, higher up the food chain. Recycling wastes can help lighten our load on the environment. This study may help to reduce the polyester and LDPE waste that causes pollution and contamination of clean water sources and to develop a low-cost fiberboard. In this study, the fiberboard was prepared using fiber from polyester fabric and binder from one of the products of LDPE which is a plastic bag at a ratio of 30:70, 40:60,50:50,60:40 and 70:30 respectively. As shown for physical property test results, for the physical properties all sample except 60:40 and 70:30 polyester fabric is to LDPE passed the required limit for water absorption (40% maximum absorption), for the thickness swelling test, all mixture had passed the maximum amount of 20%. The mechanical properties test results indicate that the three samples 40:60, 50:50 and 60:40 are the only samples passed the standard value for modulus of rupture (140 kg/m2). For the face screw holding test, all mixture passed its required limit of 30 kilograms while last one test the internal bond test did not get any sample to comply the required amount for its standard 3 kg/m2. Therefore, the mixing sample that can be more suitable and alternative for standard fiberboard are 40%:60% and 50%:50% of polyester fabric is to LDPE that passed all criteria except for internal bond.
