Abstract: While there is a trend for increased use of wood-based products the use of sawn wood is not increasing. Reduction in the supply of roundwood is determining that smaller-diameter wood is used. Materials based on small-diameter and recycled materials are being developed that will use new technologies and resins specific for the purpose required.

Keywords: fibreboard; plywood; recycled materials; resins, roundwood; small-diameter timber; straw; waste paper; waste wood; wood-based materials; renewable materials.
