This study utilizes solid organic waste as an alternative raw material for particle boards to reduce wood dependency while addressing environmental pollution. By adding fiberglass, the resulting particle boards demonstrate improved strength, offering an eco-friendly and economically valuable solution.

The high rate of deforestation has led to a decline in wood production, directly affecting the supply of wood for the timber industry, including particle boards. Along with the rapid population growth, the amount of solid organic waste generated from human activities has also increased. The large volume of organic waste creates several problems, one of which is air pollution. Decaying waste produces unpleasant odors, and its presence greatly disrupts environmental aesthetics and comfort.

The urgency of this research is as follows:

  1. To optimize alternative natural raw materials derived from non-wood solid organic waste and wood by-products, which are abundant and renewable, to replace wood in particle board production. This is a feasible strategy to reduce negative environmental impacts. Through particle board technology, solid organic waste can be processed into boards with added value to enhance the economy.

  2. To improve the weakness of particle boards in terms of strength by using fiberglass.
