Roasted coffee waste as a substitute of wood chips in particleboards

The paper presents preliminary results of our studies on possible use of roasted coffee waste in the form of husks as a substitute for wood chips in three-ply particleboards glued with melamine-formaldehyde resin (MUF). We produced boards in which roasted coffee waste substituted up to 50% of wood chips. Increasing share of coffee waste caused a gradual decrease in the board bending strength and internal bond. However, strength of the boards containing even 50% of coffee waste was typical of P2 boards, i.e., those intended for interior decoration, including furniture used in dry conditions.
