This research suggest one-body type scrapped styrofoam crusher with sprayed air (or water), which at present separately composed of dust eliminator, air supplier and crusher. Air (or water) that supplied from compressor injected to rotating twin roller through axis hole, and sprayed out of fine hole on the surface. The crusher that manufactured with sprayed air (or water) can make high-quality primary styrofoam removed pollution and dust. In case of mixed sprayed air and water, clean degree of crushed styrofoam was higher than single sprayed air. This could be contributed to reduce environmental pollution, cost and space in standpoint of recycling scrapped styrofoam.

A styrene solution of waste expanded polystyrene with a crosslinking agent and an initiator was used as a binder for waste wood-plastic composite panels. The waste wood-plastic composite panels are prepared with various binder contents and filler-binder ratios by using a hot press molding method. The apparent density of the composite panels is increased with increasing binder content and filler-binder ratio, while their water absorption and expansion in thickness are decreased with increasing binder content and filler-binder ratio. The maximum flexural strength and wet flexural strength of the composite panels are obtained at a binder content of 35% and a filler-binder ratio of 0.8. Decreases in the flexural strengths of the composite panels due to water immersion at 20 and $100^{\circ}C$ are hardly recognized at binder contents of 30% or more.
