Description
Turning treated waste wood into new composite boards only helps the planet if the old preservatives stay locked inside. Vivian Müller, Felix Behrendt, and Christian Dreyer stored wood-filled polyester boards in water in 2026 and measured what leaked out. Two tracer dyes were followed by light absorption, and three real wood preservatives by a sensitive chemical fingerprinting method.
Most of the studied compounds escaped only in very small amounts over the storage period. The few differences between compounds are discussed in terms of how each binds and moves in the material. The authors present the work as a first step toward safe reuse of contaminated wood in composites.
