A Natural Fibre for Insulation Manufacturers

MDF Recovery has developed a low cost, low energy process which extracts clean, high quality wood fibres from waste MDF – a new, sustainable raw material for insulation production.

The wood fibre recovered is ideal for natural insulation either as loose fill material or as flexible batts. They offer excellent thermal performance, reduce environmental impact, and meet rising demand for bio-based building materials.

Wood Fibre Insulation

Our customers can transform what was previously seen as an unprofitable waste stream into a valuable, high-performance, environmentally friendly insulation material for house building.

The process:

  • Uses minimal energy and water
  • Produces clean, reusable wood fibres
  • Requires no added chemicals
  • Operates at low cost and can be scaled to meet your business requirements

Our Technology

MDF Recovery’s patented recycling technology can be delivered as a turnkey solution. The low capital cost and easy, safe operation of the equipment opens up this commercial opportunity to all those within the building products or waste management supply chains.  Plants can be located close to waste sources and close to customers, reducing transportation costs and adding value to a once problematic waste stream.

Proven Fibre, Natural Fit

The fibres recovered have been independently tested and proven to perform as well or better than traditional insulation materials.

Natural fibre insulation derived from the MDFR process is :

  • Flexible – can be used as loose-fill, insulation batts or rigid boards to meet all applications within the building industry
  • High performing – it offers excellent thermal and acoustic properties
  • Sustainable – recycled content in construction products is increasingly important to specifiers, these products meet that demand
  • Cost efficient – avoids using expensive virgin materials
