“…It is a fact that the demand for forest raw materials used as inputs in the industrial sector for the production of various products continues to increase (França et al, 2019;Vititnev et al, 2021;Borz et al, 2021). In this regard, during the processing of lumber, large volumes of fibers are produced in the form of byproducts and solid waste derived from the transformation.…”

The timber industry and other sectors that rely on forest management, would benefit from a deeper understanding of the extraction work carried out by properly trained workers. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of training operational personnel on the efficient utilization of harvested pine logs in the southern region of the state of Chihuahua, in northern Mexico. Two samplings of the logging present in the cutting area of the ejido Basihuare (communal land) were carried out, taking into consideration the diameter with and without bark, visual quality, length, and use for reinforcement. The sampling involved recording 116 logs prior to a directional felling and log dimensioning training process, and 336 logs divided into three sampling blocks after the training. The data was analysed with tests for variance homogeneity, and ANOVA analyses were performed at a significance level of 0.05. It was found that training forestry harvest personnel allows for an improvement in the process of classifying logs destined for industrial use according to their dimension and visual quality. Additionally, the training allowed for the proper adjustment of reinforcements applied in the log dimensioning process, and as a result, it was possible to efficiently utilize available resources, significantly reducing the generation of waste after resizing of the wood products. For the advancement of the forestry sector, it is necessary to prioritize training as a driving element of quality to raise operational efficiency parameters of production and, consequently, promote the evolution of the production process.

Purpose of review This review explores the opportunities and challenges associated with using unconventional and underutilized wood sources, such as fast-growing species, logging residues, fire-damaged wood, and post-consumer wood, to manufacture wood-based composite panels (WBCPs), particularly particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and oriented strand board. This paper also discusses recent advancements in lightweight and multifunctional panels, with new features such as fire resistance, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic shielding, and antibacterial laminates. Recent findings Climate change, wildfires, and competition from the energy sector threaten current sources of fiber supply for WBCP manufacturing in some regions. Logging residues are abundant but underutilized in some areas, and the abundance of fire-damaged wood is expected to increase in the coming years due to climate change. These raw materials’ effects on panel properties and technological limitations are discussed. Recycled wood is increasingly used for non-structural panels, but challenges remain when it comes to recycling panels, particularly post-consumer MDF. Conventional and emerging materials used in lightweight and multifunctional panels are also presented. Natural substances like cellulose, nanocellulose, chitosan, lignin, protein, and phytic acid are promising alternatives to conventional fire retardants. Innovative products such as MDF that contains carbon-based conductive fibers and antimicrobial laminates that use green-synthesized metal compounds are also reported. Summary This review shows that the WBCP industry can improve its sustainability by optimizing and diversifying wood sources, better managing and recycling post-consumer panels, and using more environmentally friendly materials. The hazardous chemicals in adhesives, fire retardants, and coatings are the main obstacles to recycling panels and creating a more circular economy within the WBCP industry.
