Environmental benefits of Vitec Panels

As demand for engineered wood products increases, the supply of wood residues required for the production is not keeping pace, and is not increasing at a noticeable rate. This fact has forced some manufacturers to seek alternative sources of fibre, such as agricultural waste products, wood waste and paper waste.

These alternative sources present economical advantages and environmental benefits such as diversion of waste from landfills and burning. Currently, the amount of agricultural waste fibre far exceeds fibre requirements for the production of engineering wood products. Therefore any treatment technology that is in line with this emerging market will have a major chance of success, hence the Vitec Panels, utilising the HARCwood® technology.
