Patent Granted for MDF Recycling Business

摘要

MDF Recovery Ltd, Macclesfield, has announced that its novel process for recovering wood fibre from medium density fibreboard (MDF) has been granted UK patent approval. TheMDF recycling technology exploits a technique known as ohmic heating, commonly used in large-scale food manufacturing, which heats the MDF to break down the resins that bind it together. The resultant fibre is of the same quality as virgin wood fibre. The company's patented process is designed to recycle tonnes of MDF on a continuous basis.
