“…For the internal bond, it was possible to verify that the panels met the requirements of the EN 312 standard [ 50 ], of 0.24 MPa. The results are close in the literature [ 51 ], between 0.15 and 0.46 MPa. The A 208.1 standard [ 41 ] establishes internal bond values between 0.15 and 0.40 MPa, values exceeded in all treatments.…”

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.

The growing awareness of nature conservation encourages producers, engineers, and designers to contribute to the rational and innovative use of raw materials. Sustainable development is imperative, symbolizing the balance between meeting the needs of the present generations without compromising the needs of future ones. The aim of this paper is to investigate the production process of cut veneer of Pedunculate Slavonian oak (Quercus robur L.) and which parts of the logs are lost or thrown in the production of cut veneer, to analyze the increase in the use of veneers that currently represent residue in processing, and to propose directions of designing a new product from the analyzed residue—decorative wall panels. The research was conducted in the company Spačva Ltd. in Vinkovci, Vukovar-Srijem County, Croatia, in 2021/2022. The findings emphasize that the vast majority of unused veneers, considered technologically unacceptable in the production process, can be decoratively and visually desirable due to their natural appearance in the design of a new product. By analyzing and applying the design principles and elements, natural phenomena were applied to the veneers that represent the basic motif of the new decorative wall panels. The initial solutions of the decorative wall coverings made of veneer with a natural appearance and the solution from other wood residues from production are shown. The results of this study have potentially far-reaching implications for wood product manufacturers and demonstrate the importance of applying design in wood technology to reduce residue, demonstrating that residue from standard production can be designed into an innovative, sustainable product that reduces environmental damage.
