Breakthrough technology to recover high-quality recycled fibre from waste MDF

VIRGIN WOOD REPLACEMENT

Offering security of supply due
to reduced dependence on virgin fibre.

ZERO WASTE GOAL

Our unique technology recycles MDF
during manufacture and at end of life
with no deterioration of fibre quality.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Our technology can save many millions of tonnes
of end-of-life and scrap MDF being incinerated
or sent to landfill

PRODUCT TRANSFORMATION

MDF really is recyclable. With our technology,
sustainability credentials now match
performance and versatility

"Reducing costs; enhancing both product and corporate sustainability and addressing the needs of the circular economy"

A cost-effective and reliable wood fibre supply

MDF Recovery Ltd has developed an innovative and effective process to recover fibre from waste MDF. Virgin wood supplies are under pressure worldwide as demand escalates and supplies are stretched. Rising prices and uncertainty of supply, combined with increasing pressures to maintain standing forests are challenging every element of the wood processing sector.

Recycled fibre (rMDF) from waste MDF offers a novel, low energy and reliable source of feedstock for MDF manufacturers and other high value applications including thermal insulation.

THE SOLUTION

A sustainable and circular solution to end-of-life MDF

MDF Recovery provides an enabling technology for manufacturers, processors and retailers looking to transition from a linear to a circular economy.

Since its development in the 1970s, there has been no way to successfully recycle
fibres from waste MDF, until now.

As functional as it is while in service, end-of-life and scrap MDF causes problems. Until the advent of MDFR’s recycling and fibre recovery process, disposal was a choice between landfill or incineration – neither solution being environmentally sound or positive financially.

With MDF Recovery’s technology now ready for market, neither makes sense any longer. This valuable resource can be used time and time again, ensuring continued carbon storage in these recovered natural fibres.

THE CHALLENGE

Recycled MDF wood fibre is a natural and effective insulation material

Recovered wood fibre from waste MDF is an excellent natural fibre raw material for insulating buildings.

MDF Recovery’s fibres can replace or reduce the use of mineral wool, polystyrene and polyurethane in a wide variety of thermal insulation products.

Wood fibre insulation allows the building to breathe and creates a healthy living/working environment. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter.

APPLICATIONS/INSULATION

10 YEARS OF RESEARCH

We're backed by over 10 years' intensive research and development.

Delivering added value to waste management sector

Globally, over 40 years’ production of MDF is embedded in products such as furniture, kitchen cabinets, mouldings, door parts, and laminate flooring in buildings . Over 75 million tonnes of new product is manufactured every year. This material needs to be handled sustainably.

Our technology reduces the cost of MDF disposal and generates a viable, highly marketable product in the form of high quality, recycled wood fibre.

APPLICATIONS/WASTE PROCESSING

Highly cost-effective supply of natural fibre for MDF manufacturers

MDF manufacturing typically creates up to 5% scrap, which is often incinerated on-site.

Our technology provides a closed loop solution which recovers greater value from this waste, improving production efficiency.
