Tree bark, which is a non-wood forest product, cannot be utilized sufficiently due to its availability, easy production and generally seen as waste. While it is used at most 10% in the production of composite materials, it is also used in adhesive production, dyestuff etc.In this study, larch bark, which is the most spreading tree in our country and has a high crust rate, was used as a filler, and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) was used as a polymer material. The mixing ratio used was adjusted to be 50-50%. T-type and H-type joints representing wooden furniture joints were produced and tested from the produced wood plastic composite (WPC) materials. From WPC material, mortise and tenon, dowel and solid joints were produced and strength tests were carried out on them. It is important that the produced WPC material performs well in all tests of the study, is an environmentally friendly product and has a high economic value. However, it is thought that the WPC material using tree bark can find a wide market area because it appeals to both the plastic industry and the wood industry.
