NORWAY — Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO) wood scientists are keen to contribute to a circular economy. …NIBIO wood scientist Stephen Amiandamhen is a specialist in wood products and has been researching wood fiber boards for many years. One of his research goals is to get more companies to use residual materials, or waste, in more valuable products, such as wood fiber boards. Just recently, the Norwegian Research Council and Ard Innovation have contributed money and support to help realize Amiandamhen’s research dream. …Now, NIBIO’s wood scientists are investigating how renewable materials and residual materials from the wood processing industry can be used to create light, fire-retardant, and simultaneously environmentally friendly wood fiber boards – and at the same time using non-toxic binders. The new wood fiber boards have been named PhosBoard.
