“…Future work is needed to quantify the mechanical properties of the furniture waste WPC after the first cycle and compare it to pure PLA, modified wood fiber powder WPCs (Zhang et al, 2016) and other and other wood fiber biocomposites (Le Duigou et al, 2016). As polymeric materials are recycled, they tend to degrade, and this is shown in the reduction in molecular weight.…”

The Michigan furniture industry produces >150 tons/day of wood-based waste that can be upcycled into a wood–polymer composite (WPC). This study investigated the viability of using furniture waste as a feedstock for 3-D printer filament to produce furniture components. The process involves grinding and milling board scraps made of both LDF-MDF-LDF (where LDF is light-density fill and MDF is medium-density fill) and melamine-particleboard-paper impregnated with phenolic resins, premixing wood-based powder with the biopolymer polylactic acid, extruding twice through open source recyclebots to fabricate homogeneous 3-D printable WPC filament, and printing with open source fused filament fabrication–based 3-D printers. The results indicate that there is a significant opportunity for waste-based composite WPCs to be used as 3-D printing filament.
