Abstract

ABSTRACT: Wood recycling is common practice in most countries. Currently, recovered wood is used for relatively low value uses including energy generation, particleboard manufacture, animal beddings and landscape uses. This paper gives an overview of two research projects that aim to generate high-value products from recovered wood and thereby encourage even higher rates of wood recycling. One project is concerned with the extraction of nano-crystalline cellulose from waste MDF and the other produces laminated beams from recovered wood.
