Estimating post-consumer fibreboard waste generation in Europe

Following the publication of the Guide to the EcoReFibre Results in Brief and Factsheets, stage one focuses on prediction modelling. Led by ESB, it opens the series on estimating post-consumer fibreboard waste in Europe. It addresses a key challenge: understanding when fibreboards become waste and available for recycling.Today, limited information is available on the lifespan
