What are the characteristics of high-quality wood powder materials? An explanation of efforts to reduce environmental impact!
Due to the influence of the SDGs aimed at achieving a sustainable society, efforts to recycle materials have recently begun.
What is high-quality wood powder? Traditionally, wood powder has been treated as a "by-product" generated during the manufacturing processes of construction materials and furniture, or when dismantling wood. When attempting to utilize wood powder produced in such processes as a material, there were disadvantages such as contamination with impurities and difficulty in adjusting particle size. However, recently, there has been an increase in companies that process locally sourced wood and sell it as "high-quality wood powder material." What characteristics define high-quality wood powder? Quality Standards for Wood Powder The quality standards for using wood powder as a material are as follows: Origin (Purity) What percentage of the wood powder comes from its country of origin (e.g., domestic products, 100% domestic wood, etc.) Raw Materials Whether the wood powder is produced from local sources or from offcuts and components of lumber Impurities Whether there are any contaminants such as adhesives, asbestos, metal powders, or preservatives Functionality Whether the wood powder is superior in safety when used as a material High-quality wood powder is...
