MDF Recovery Limited

MDF Recovery is a UK technology business that has developed the world's first continuous process that effectively recovers high quality wood fibres from end of life medium density fibreboard (MDF). With previous support from IUK and angel investors, it has proven concept at pilot scale and now seeks to exploit this global market opportunity. Eighty millio...

Over 80 million tonnes of MDF are produced every year with over 1 million tonnes being consumed in the UK alone. The volumes of MDF supplied into the furniture, joinery and retail sectors have increased dramatically in the last 20 years. As such, we are now seeing huge volumes of waste MDF enter the supply chain, estimated to be in the region of 600k tonn...

"The ambition of this project is significant. MDF has been produced since the 1960s and yet it remains the only wood based product that is currently unrecyclable. The most sustainable outcome for the UK's estimated circa 400k tons p.a. of MDF waste today is incineration with energy recovery. However, MDF Recovery is a transformational technology that conv...

This project seeks to disrupt the existing life-cycle of medium density fibreboard. It will develop a technology that will be capable of recovering high value wood fibres from a waste stream that is still often landfilled or incinerated. It will pursue a closed loop agenda, making available industrial products made from the recovered fibres. The impacts a...
