Alternative Uses for Waste-Paper in Wood-Based Composite Products, 1993 Recycling Symposium Proceedings

John A. Youngquist, Brent W. English, Roger M. Rowell

A reduction is urgently needed in the quantities of industrial and municipal solid-waste materials that are currently being landfilled. Major components of these combined waste streams include wastepaper, waste wood, yard waste, gypsum, and plastics. These materials offer great opportunities as recycled ingredients in wood composites. This report discusses possibilities for manufacturing selected composites from these materials. Methods for producing the composites and the resultant product properties and attributes are described. Research and development needs for maximizing the benefits of using recovered waste materials for composite products are discussed.
