What if discarded wood waste could be used to produce the next generation of sustainable materials? This research study explores how recovered wood waste can be reinforced into polymer composites, giving the material a new purpose while reducing reliance on virgin resources. In this way, an existing waste stream can be transformed into a valuable raw material and contribute to more practical and circular solutions.
