The iron-steel and plastics industries are high-end import industries. A lot of waste occurs both at the production phase and post-production phase in these industries. The most problematic waste of the production phase in the iron-steel industry is blast furnace dust (BFD) waste. The plastics that increase the usage rate day by day, can stay in the nature for many years as a waste when they fill the service life, due to the high degradation period. The most used type of plastic is low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in Turkey and in the world. It is important to recycle these wastes, to reduce environmental problems, and to save the economy of Turkey. In this study, LDPE and BFD were combined by extrusion method and composite granules were produced. The produced composite granules were shaped by injection method, their mechanical properties were investigated, and the composite material determined could be used as flooring material in construction.
