0 hard material made from small pieces of wood mixed with glue, often used instead of wood in making furniture because it is cheaper:
veneered chipboard
This reminder of the nature of wood makes the everyday world of chipboard and laminate seem even more tacky on one's return.
I believe there is a compulsion on the chipboard factories to take a certain amount of thinnings other than spruce.
My contention is that there are also grounds for establishing more hardboard and chipboard mills.
For example 2 pulpmills, 2 chipboard factories and a fibreboard factory based on home-grown timber have been set up during the last decade.
The same is not true of chipboard, however.
A modern chipboard mill requires something like 1.000 to 1,500 tons of thinnings a day.
Home production of chipboard, which is running at a high level in relation to capacity, amounted in 1968 to 179,500 tons.
The other is the chipboard industry, which requires very little water but, of course, a supply of timber.
