Particleboards from Recycled Thermally Modified Wood

In recent years, the production and consumption of thermally modified wood (TMW) has been increasing. Offcuts and other waste generated during TMWs processing into products, as well as already disposed products based on TMWs can be an input recycled raw material for production of particleboards (PBs...

description In recent years, the production and consumption of thermally modified wood (TMW) has been increasing.
