Re-board: The sustainable material of the future

Re-board® is the original patented lightweight board with minimal environmental impact. Its strength lies in the patented core.

Re-board is the original patented lightweight board for 2D and 3D constructions, developed in the 1990s by award-winning Swedish inventor Karl-Gustav Ericsson. The vision was to create a sustainable construction material with minimal environmental footprint.

When developing the Re-board lightweight board, the focus was on:
    • Minimizing raw material usage

    • Maximum strength

    • Maximum weight reduction

    • Minimizing CO2 emissions during production

Minimizing raw material usage

Although the raw material for Re-board comes from responsibly managed forests, it is essential to limit consumption – and thereby also logging. Re-board uses 80% less wood than an equivalent MDF or particle board. This means that 80% of the trees remain standing in the forest, where they provide the greatest benefit to both the atmosphere and groundwater. Forests play a vital role in protecting water quality, and the purest groundwater is found beneath them.

 

Re-board®: The sustainable material of the future

In the past, producing one ton of paper required 100,000 liters of water. At that time, chlorine was used for bleaching, which polluted the water and was toxic to animals and plants. Today, things are very different. Water now runs in a closed-loop system, where the paper mill cleans and reuses it repeatedly without polluting. At the same time, it was discovered that paper can be bleached without chlorine (ECF – Elemental Chlorine Free). The chemical process is the same used for hair bleaching at hairdressers. The technique is free of elemental chlorine gas, avoiding the formation of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (carcinogens). Together, these developments have made today’s paper mills far less polluting.

THE RAW MATERIAL FOR THE PAPER COMES FROM RESPONSIBLE FORESTRY AND IS FSC® CERTIFIED

In an FSC-certified forest, no more trees are felled than the forest can reproduce. FSC certification ensures that animal and plant life are protected, and that the people working in the forest are trained, properly equipped, and fairly paid. Behind the FSC label lies a strict international control system. Wood within the FSC system can be traced all the way back to the forest area where it originates – no matter how many steps it passes through before reaching the store where it is sold.

Re-board® is produced at an FSC-certified paper mill in Sweden and distributed through FSC-certified partners.

RE-BOARD® CAN BE RECYCLED AS PAPER 5–7 TIMES

The paper in a Re-board® lightweight board is of such high quality that it can be recycled 5 to 7 times in the paper industry. This makes it worthwhile to separate Re-board® from ordinary cardboard before sending it back to the industry. This is a focus area for us at PMH Systems, and we therefore offer all our Circular Service Partners the option to return cut-offs at a favorable rate.

Minimering af CO2 emission ved produktion

Ifølge Miljøstyrelsen Brancheanalyse af miljømæssige forhold i træ- og møbelindustrien udledes hhv. 1268 og 898 kg. CO2 pr. m2 når der produceres traditionelle konstruktionsplader som MDF og spånplader. Re-board er den første letvægtsplade i verden der uafhængigt har målt CO2 udledning efter CEPE og ISO 14040 retningslinjer.

Maximum weight reduction

An MDF board weighs 10.5 kg per m². A Re-board® panel is 8.55 kg lighter and weighs only 1.95 kg per m².

According to the European Parliament’s website, transport accounts for almost 30% of the EU’s total CO2 emissions. Of this, 72% comes from road transport, with heavy and light trucks representing 38% (26 Aug. 2019).

A key factor determining how much CO2 is emitted during transport is weight. When weight is reduced, it either becomes possible to transport more goods per kilometer driven or to reduce CO2 emissions per kilometer with the same volume.

If it has to be strong, it has to be Re-board®

The patented core of Re-board® is 56% stronger. Whether for individual design or industrial production, Re-board® can be shaped, cut, and folded in countless ways – and it’s hard not to feel inspired when holding the impressive board in your hands.

Re-board® is a strong yet lightweight paper-based construction material for 2D and 3D applications. It comes in various board types, thicknesses, colors, and sizes, along with an extensive range of construction accessories. The sustainable Re-board® can often replace more resource-heavy materials such as MDF, chipboard, or foamed PVC.

The patented core with vertical wood fibers set at a 15° angle, combined with carefully selected raw materials, makes Re-board® so strong that it can withstand a direct static load of up to 90 tons. In bending tests, it achieves stiffness that is 56% stronger than comparable boards.

Bending stiffness: The board is placed between two supports (330 mm cc), and force is applied until the board breaks.

Rene snit, skarpe hjørner og stærke kanter

Når der skæres i et organisk materiale som papir, er en jævn materialemodstand essentiel for at opnå et rent og skarpt snit.

I områder uden modstand, altså hvor kernen består af større luftlommer, vil kniven løbe ujævnt. Træfibrene i Re-boards patenterede kernemateriale ligger så tæt, at kniven møder en kontinuerlig modstand.

Kernematerialer med mindre træfylde, som dem der oftest ses benyttet i prisattraktive alternativer, vil ikke kunne leve op til Re-boards styrke og stabilitet i udsatte og følsomme områder af konstruktionen, som kanter, ombuk og hjørner. De førnævnte områder er alle afgørende faktorer for levetiden og kvaliteten på en konstruktion. En høj fibertæthed er derfor også i denne henseende essentiel, når der skal skabes et 2D eller 3D output i høj kvalitet og styrke.

Re-boards fibertætte kerne sikrer at skruer udviklet til letvægtsplader bider godt fast. Faktisk så godt fast, at de kan af- og påmonteres flere gange.

Med re-board er det kun fantasien, der sætter grænser for, hvad du kan skabe!
