Background

MDF is an engineered wood product produced with wood fibre and other types of fibres, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming it into panels by applying optimum temperature and pressure.^[1] The raw materials of MDF are firewood from forests and plantations, such as hardwood, softwood, cotton stalks, Sesbania, sugarcane, bagasse, and so forth.^[2] MDF are widely used in furniture and flooring applications, and the market demand has dramatically increased from 7.88 million cubic meters (m³) in 1995 to nearly 100 million (m³) in 2016.^[3] .The estimated yearly global market size is expected to grow from 117 million m³ in 2024 to 142 million m³ in 2028.^[4] However, the high volume of production and the relatively short average lifespan (between 10.7 to 12.1 years) of products containing MDF create a significant waste problem.^[5] Currently, landfilling and incineration are the primary disposal methods for waste MDF, and there is no commercially viable method for recycling fibreboard. Recycling fibreboard waste over using it for energy recovery or disposal not only helps to meet market demand and reduce environmental issues like deforestation but also contributes to mitigating climate change and developing a sustainable economy. ^[6]

Recycling

There is a growing interest both from the wood industry and academia in recycling fibreboard waste into new fibreboard products, such as medium-density fibreboard (MDF).^[7] However, recycling fibreboard waste into MDF presents significant technological challenges and a need for high-tech wood waste sorting techniques and processing technologies.^[8] In a Horizon Europe project, EcoReFibre develops enhanced sorting equipment and smart technologies, ultimately increasing available wood resources in Europe through recycling.^[9]
