A new feed stream for coextruded wood-plastic composite profiles and boards will be presented this month at Wood Plastic Composites 2008, Oct. 14-16 in Vienna, sponsored by Applied Market Information (AMI) Ltd. in the U.K. (U.S. office in Wyomissing, Pa.). R&D firm Conenor Ltd. in Tampere, Finland, uses recycled aluminum-lined plastic and paper cartons and metalized films.
Conenor Ltd., Tampere, Finland, has used a new version of its Conex conical-rotor extruder to produce multi-layer flat panels up to 24 in. wide from wood-plastic composite (WPC). In trials, Conenor has extruded a foam core with up to 50% wood and unfoamed skins containing up to 80% wood.

What we got was a mixture of predictions of what will happen and a wish list of what should happen.
