I guess that basically means that no plywood is good for compost or proper recycling, unless perhaps grinding up into particle board…?
minus-squarespittingimage@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoIt’s safe for reuse, but probably not for recycling. I don’t know if it can even be safely burned.
minus-squarematteus@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoManufactured wood has glue in it - generally not safe to burn.
minus-squareMrAlternateTape@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoBurning plywood or MDF is not recommended. The glue could release some toxic fumes.
minus-squareHugh_Jeggs@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 months agoJust for info, you’re talking about plywood. MDF is individual tiny fibres glued together and one uniform colour without layers https://www.bobvila.com/articles/mdf-vs-plywood/ Still no good for recycling or burning!
