“…Although other research groups have been testing logging residue and pine bark applications for chipboard production, the possibility of completely excluding fossil-based adhesives has not been investigated [16,17]. With today's climate objectives, it is crucial to completely rethink construction and housing approaches by completely excluding fossil carbon from the market [1].…”

“…The upward trends in timber production go against the European Union's Green Deal commitment to decouple economic growth from resource consumption [15]. Necessary steps should be taken to increase productivity by using raw materials more efficiently or exploring new and alternative raw materials to replace timber with raw material side streams [16].…”

“…Pędzik et al have reported the potential of chipboard production using residues from forest management, tackling the need for sustainable raw materials. Although the team concluded that the produced boards are applicable to P2 functionality (suitable for the dry environment), the adhesive used in this research is the conventional urea-formaldehydebased adhesive [16]. Mirski et al have recently explored pine bark as an additive for chipboards using urea-formaldehyde and melamine-urea-formaldehyde resins [17]; both of these adhesives are fossil-based.…”

Wood chipboard, common in interior spaces for applications ranging from furniture to decorative panelling, often falls short due to the presence of toxic adhesives, posing risks to both human health and the environment. This research delves into the potential transformation of wood chipboard into a 100% bio-based product. Previous research has shown the possibility of the partial replacement of petrochemical-based adhesives with bio-based adhesives. Hence, previous results do not reach the policy ambitions of the Green Deal of making the Green Transition to a bio-based economy. For chipboard production, logging residues from Latvian State Forests were systematically gathered within two months post-logging, comprising primarily Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris biomass, including branches, needles, bark, and various particles. A custom chipper and Vibrotehnik PM-120 hammer mill were employed for particle size separation into three fractions via sieving: <2.8 mm, 2.8–8 mm, and 8.0–10.0 mm, and combined with binders and hot-pressed into board samples. As a result, particle boards containing 100% bio-based carbon were achieved, demonstrating the possibility of excluding petroleum adhesives from chipboard production, paving the way for new research exploring bio-based binders and conifer bark.

“…It is a biological material with an anisotropic structure and variable properties. Systematic research conducted for various years has led to the development of a plethora of modern materials derived from wood [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], as well as other lignocellulosic materials [ 5 , 6 ] and non-wood composites [ 7 , 8 ]. However, research on raw wood as a biological structure continues.…”

The research on Paulownia cultivation and wood properties is up to date in many countries. However, there are no data on the properties of this wood defined on a microscale, on microtome samples. The main aim of this study was to find the best valorization path for the wood of Paulownia Shang Tong Hybrid F1 from an extensively cultivated plantation established in April 2017 in Poland by determining the tensile strength, the wood density, the strength-to-density ratio, and the modulus of elasticity on a cross-section of the trunk. The wood was collected from extensive plantation, where production is based on the natural resources of the habitat and ambient weather conditions, which is the opposite to the intensive cultivation model, which is the recommended model of Paulownia cultivation. The results of this study show that the mean density of the analyzed samples was approximately 210 kg/m3 when the mean value of the modulus of elasticity (MOE) was approximately 2400 MPa. The mean result for the tensile strength ratio to density was 11.25 km. In the case of anatomical structure, the increasing trend with age was noticed both in fiber and vessel characteristics. The study results provide unique data worldwide about Paulownia wood’s properties based on a cross-section of the trunk, from plantations cultivated in conditions which are not recommended by seedlings producers. The obtained data indicate that the Paulownia wood (examined) from the cultivation in this study has a technical quality similar to that of model-intensive agricultural plantations.

“…Adhering to circular economy practices, which include the upcycling of raw materials and the increased utilization of by-products to manufacture new products with added value, Pędzik et al [65] studied the possibilities of using forest residues generated from Scots pine harvesting as a substitutional material for manufacturing particleboards. Markedly, the composites, fabricated from forest biomass residues, exhibited satisfactory mechanical properties, fulfilling the requirements for type P5 particleboards, suitable for load-bearing applications for use in humid conditions in accordance with EN 312 standard.…”
