Abstract
Waste from the agri-food sector has great potential for use as a building material. The paper concerns a pilot study of the use of buckwheat husk for board production. Buckwheat husk, obtained as waste during buckwheat hulling, is a material with a low bulk density (about 180 kg·m−3); hence, its use through compaction to form a board is a valuable solution to increase the value of this material. The preliminary research conducted proved to be the basis for the implementation of a broader study. Additional motivation to develop the project of ecological boards is the fact that their product uses buckwheat hulls, which is a waste product from the agri-food industry. With the right technology, boards of this type could be an alternative to furniture boards.
