Recycling Fibreboard
[edit]Fibreboard
[edit]Fibreboard 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] Types of fiberboard considering density include low-density fiberboard (LDF), medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and hardboard or high-density fiberboard (HDF). Although similar manufacturing processes are used in making all types of fibreboard, MDF has a typical density of 600–800 kg/m3 or 0.022–0.029 lb/in3, in contrast to particle board (500–800 kg/m3) and to high-density fibreboard (600–1,450 kg/m3). MDF dominates the fibreboard production volume and the evolution of the various types of MDF has been driven by differing needs for specific applications. MDFs 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.[2] .The estimated yearly global market size is expected to grow from 117 million m3 in 2024 to 142 million m3 in 2028.[3] In Europe, MDF is classified for use by the standard EN 622-5, such as load-bearing for general dry or humid conditions. The light and ultralight MDF are also classified by EN 622-5 for general (non-load-bearing) use.[4]
| EN 622 classification | Use |
|---|---|
| MDF | General purpose board for dry conditions |
| MDF.H | General purpose board for humid conditions |
| MDF.LA | Load-bearing boards for dry conditions |
| MDF.HLS | Load-bearing boards for humid conditions |
| MDF.RWH | Board for rigid underlays in roofs and walls |
Fibreboard Performance
[edit]As a commercial product, fibreboard should meet some requirements to ensure good quality. The following properties are good indicators of the performance of fibreboard according to EN 622-5:
- Density profile
- Surface roughness and absorption
- thickness swelling and absorption after 24 h
- Internal bond
- Bending strength
- Modulus of elasticity in bending
- Formaldehyde emission and content
- Axial withdrawal of screws
For some boards used in rigid roof and wall underlays, specific tests are required, such as thickness swell after cyclic test, internal bond after cyclic test or internal bond after boil test. In addition, MDF has a typical density of 600–800 kg/m3, and MOR of 40 MPa, MOE of 3 GPa. Because it is easier to machine and has good weathering characteristics, it tends to replace particleboard in applications such as furniture, cabinet making, joinery, craft work, and flooring.[5] It is important to know the requirements of properties not only affected by the application but also the range of nominal thickness.
Density is a crucial factors that influence the performance of fibreboard, such as modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), etc. In general, the mechanical properties increase with increasing the density. However, density is insufficient to evaluate the performance of fibreboard because many other factors also affect the properties, like resin load, additives such as , manufacturing conditions (pressing factor, temperature), and most importantly, the fiber used. The fibres for fibreboard can from forests and plantations, such as hardwood and softwood, and also from cotton stalks, Sesbania, sugarcane, bagasse, and so forth.[6] The dominant material of fiberboard (American English) or fibreboard (British English) is wood fibers.
Recycling
[edit]Source of fibreboard waste
[edit]Fibreboard waste can be simplified into two classes: fibreboard production waste, and post-consumer waste. post-consumer waste is the main feedstock of waste because it comes from commercial products, such as veneered furniture, ceilings, and low-density MDF as insulation boards.
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.[7] 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 instead of using it for energy recovery or disposal not only helps to meet market demand but also reduces environmental issues like deforestation. Moreover, it also contributes to mitigating climate change and developing a sustainable economy. [8] 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).[9] However, recycling fibreboard waste into MDF presents significant technological challenges and a need for high-tech wood waste sorting techniques and processing technologies.[10] In a Horizon Europe project, EcoReFibre develops enhanced sorting equipment and smart technologies, ultimately increasing available wood resources in Europe through recycling.[11]
