Recycling MDF
The amount of MDF waste produced at the furniture production stage is in the region of 180,000 tonnes per annum. The vast majority of this waste, almost 99%, is directed towards landfill. Unlike particleboard, which may be recycled to some extent to produce fresh particleboard, there are production problems concerning the recycling of MDF to produce fresh MDF board. Consequently, MDF is not currently recycled in order to produce fresh MDF.

This route leads to failures which could easily be avoided through greater understanding and care.
