Abstract

In the course of our research we have found a solut ion for recycling coloured advertising paper in a cellulose fibre based composite. This pa per quality is produced in huge quantities and can be recycled with difficulties even in paper industr y. Our aim was to produce a kind of organic composite that does not contain any adhesives fixin g the matrix part of the composite. An eco-product generated this way has similar physical and mechani cal attributes to medium density fibreboard (MDF). Fibre made of coloured newspaper can easily be adapted to board production while, at the same time, this supports also the development of an environment oriented product policy. Board- based composites produced by utilizing recycled ref use paper can be used for designing and creating environmentally friendly products following the eco -design trend.
