| These developments have implications for the use of hardboard in those sectors where its end uses overlap with those of dry-process fibreboards, such as in the furniture industry. |
| The production of wood fibreboards involves taking wood fibres obtained from waste, scrap or low-strength woods, pulverising these and then gluing them together with a binder. |
| Furthermore, dry-process fibreboards tend to be more brittle than hardboards of similar thickness. |
| Side industries have included fibreboards, industrial alcohol and livestock feed. |
| Various interested parties have submitted estimates of the size of the thin dry-process fibreboards sector. |
| This development allows thin dry-process fibreboards to compete in the market of food packaging from which it has hitherto been excluded because of its formaldehyde content. |
