Insulation industry news from Global Insulation

UK: MDF Recycling has completed proof of concept trials to develop a process to recover wood fibre from waste medium-density fibreboard (MDF). The solution generates a new raw material source for the wood and natural fibre industries. The company says that the recovered fibre is of the same quality as standard wood fibre and that it can provides feedstock to the manufacturers of MDF board, insulation products and horticultural growing products.

“We have already begun discussions with a number of leading companies and organisations operating in the MDF production and waste industries and look forward to progressing these during the early part of 2017,” said co-founder and Managing Director Craig Bartlett. He added that the recycling process was a ‘genuine world first.’

MDF Recovery has set up an advisory panel to help it commercialise the company’s technology.
