MDF Recovery, a North Wales company that is developing a world-first technology to recycle MDF waste, has received new funding of GBP 165,000 ($217,592),as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
MDF Recovery, based on Anglesey, has previously attracted funding from SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK and Innovate UK.
MDF Recovery is nearing commercialisation having successfully concluded proof of concept trials to develop a commercially viable process to recover wood fibre from used or off-cuts of MDF. The process offers the first ever alternative to landfilling or incineration of MDF and offers a closed loop recycling opportunity for the wood panel sector.
MDF Recovery’s solution generates a new secondary material source for the wood/natural fibre industry that displaces the need for new virgin materials and comes at a time when demand for virgin timber from many other sources is growing.
The company has a pilot plant which is currently being used to optimise the process and host demonstrations for industrial end users.
