Best mixture of plastic timber

I have seen some videos where they add different plastics and other materials like wood dust, crushed stone to make the plastic timber stronger.
Does anyone know the best receipt for super strong plastic timber?
Can you add crushed glass into the mixture?
Melting point of glass is very high and would burn the wood. Also would be concerned about safety. There’s a maker of this product in Colorado called Trex lumber. Maybe they can help?
Interesting question I am wondering if Plastic Lumber is the best route for me too
Let me know if you find anything and ill do the same
Oh really, I didnt know something like that existed. Thank you @recyclingcapeverde for drawing my attention to it and @distilledart for suggestion. I looked Trex up online and I think they are doing an amazing job .
Hi. You could try shredding DVD’s or CD’s to use as a filler. They should be shredded as fine as possible.
I had no idear you could use other materials like that. What sort of ratio for wood and plastic do you use?
