Abstract
AbstractA reduction is urgently needed in the quantities of industrial and municipal solid waste materials that are currently being landfilled. Major components of municipal solid waste include waste wood, paper, agriculture wastes, and other biomass fibers. In 1990, there were approximately 80 million tons of 6,000 different paper and paperboard products and 5.8 million tons of wood in the municipal solid waste stream. There are also potential millions of tons of wood fiber in timber thinnings, industrial wood waste, demolition waste, pallets, and pulp mill sludges. These materials offer great opportunities as recycled ingredients in wood-based composites. This paper discusses possibilities for manufacturing selected composites from these materials as well as materials which coexist with the wood-based resources such as plastics, fly ash, and gypsum.
