The effect of using duroplast sanitary ware waste as a substitute for wood materials in cement-bonded wood panelswas evaluated.Utilizingthese wastes can provide considerable economic and environmental benefits by reducing the use of wood materials and the deposits in landfills. Cement-bonded wood panels were produced with the replacement of spruce wood materials by the duroplast sanitary ware wasteparticlesin 10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt%, and 40 wt%. The produced panels wereexamined in terms of physical,thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties and compared with the related standards. Experimental findings demonstrated that water absorption, moisture content, andthickness swelling values of the panels were enhanced bythe addition ofduroplast sanitary ware waste. The duroplast sanitary ware wastedid not affect the density of the panels. The bending strength and the modulus of elasticity of the cement-bonded wood panels can be increased up to 23% and 5,6%, respectively, by the addition of 10 wt% duroplast sanitary ware wasteparticles. However, the internal bond strength and thescrewwithdrawal resistancevalues were reduced by an increment in the use of duroplast sanitary ware waste. The scanning electron microscope observation revealed that there was no mechanical interlocking between the duroplast sanitary ware wasteand cement, and the formations of voids in the panels increased with an increasein the duroplast sanitary ware wasteparticlecontent.
