16. Introduction In recent years, environmental problems and
recycling issues are being discussed
Recovering waste material from used beverage
cartons (UBC) to manufacture a value-added
product with an economical and efficient
method is an important issue from the
perspective of environmental pollution
UBC can be recycled using a thermal
compression process to manufacture home and
building products

Paperboard: for stiffness
Polyethylene: adhesion layer
Aluminum: barrier to oxygen, light
Polyethylene: seals in liquid food contents
Fig. 2 The dominating structure of aseptic beverage cartons

18. Introduction
Aseptic beverage cartons can be used to repulping for paper
applications
Aseptic beverage cartons can be used to process converts
shredded cartons into thermally compressed to make a high
strength bio-composite panel alternative to traditional wood
based panels such as:
Developed by
Tetra Pak®
Particleboard
Medium density fiberboard (MDF)
Oriented strandboard (OSB)

19. Yekpan® UBC is produced in Turkey Yekpan® is composed of 70–90% paper
10–25% low density polyethylene
(LDPE)
UBC cartons collected from consumers are
shredded and then molded together under
high temperature and pressure as
illustrated in Fig. 2
The process uses the whole waste package
without leaving any waste.

20. Fig. 3 A cardboard sample

21. Yekpan® Process UBC cartons are shredded into 5 mm particles
In this process,
there is no need addition
of an adhesive element
Particles formed in a layer to get a desired thickness
The mat was compressed
under pressure and heat in a hot press

22. Yekpan® Advantage of UBC carton raw material
Panels made from recycled cardboard does not only
have any formaldehyde but also have very low resin
amount reducing overall production cost
Panels have certain content polyethylene which does
not contain any formaldehyde
Panels manufactured from recycled materials would
be considered as an alternative solution to forest
resources problem

23. The objective The objective of this work was to evaluate some
properties of the cardboard substrate with wood
veneer sheets as an alternative product to wood based
panel substrates such as :
Particle board
Medium density fiber board
Oriented strand board
Determining of water resistance and mechanical
properties of cardboard panels overlaid with wood
veneer sheets using various adhesives

24. The objective Determining of glueline strength (delamination test)
between veneer sheet and cardboard substrate
Determining of the adhesive type having the best
glueline strength among experimental adhesives was
also aimed

32. Discussion
Physical properties
Cardboard panels polyurethane plays an important role to have a good contact between the particles. Polyurethane melts during the press of the panel creating a very strong bonding between particles which enhance thickness swelling of the products. Moreover small aluminum content in the particles is also acting moisture barrier and contributes better dimensional stability of the samples.
When melamine adhesives are blended with UF adhesive, they enhance the moisture-resistance properties of the UF adhesive
All overlaid cardboard specimens showed higher thickness swelling as compared to those of the cardboard specimens without wood veneers

33. Discussion
Mechanical properties
The 20% polyethylene in the cardboard process, polyethylene brings about some elasticity in coverless cardboard more than wood based panels such as particleboard, MDF, and OSB panels
Cardboard samples overlaid using PU adhesive resulted the highest bending strength characteristics among the other samples. Two-component PU adhesive can be formulated for rigidity, depending on the degree of structural loading required PU adhesive exhibits excellent joint strength
The weak adhesion between the cardboard and veneer because of the inorganic materials such as aluminum particles and polyethylene in the used beverage carton. This could be due to the high reactivity of isocyanates with the inorganic materials of cardboard

34. Discussion
Mechanical properties
Cardboards with veneer sheets using two component PU adhesive can be used in building construction and furniture industry as an alternative products
Apolar aluminum particles on the surface of cardboard and polar structure of veneer resulted in an excellent performance when polyurethane resin was used as a binder. Surface bonding strength of the samples overlaid with UF, MUF and PF adhesive was not as high as those of glued using PU adhesive due to non-porous structure of aluminum
Cardboard panels overlaid with veneer sheets using PU and PF adhesive should be suitable for exterior applications
Kraft paper used for manufacture of the cardboard samples caused higher compaction than that of particleboard and MDF, aluminum content on the raw material also enhanced the properties of the final product

35. Conclusion

36. Conclusion
Raw material from recycled cardboard was used for manufacture of composite panels. Both physical and mechanical properties of the samples resulted in satisfactory values meeting minimum requirements stated in EN 312 type 3 for particleboard, EN for MDF, and EN 300 Type 3 for OSB.
Wood veneer faced cardboards had significantly higher mechanical and physical properties than those of the wood veneer faced particleboards. This is due to tighter profile structure and higher density of cardboard panels
Panels made from recycled cardboard does not only have any formaldehyde but also have very low resin content reducing overall production cost. Such panels have certain amount polyethylene which does not contain any formaldehyde. Cardboard panels could be used as an alternative substrate for furniture production due to its formaldehyde free formation.
Panels made from recycled cardboard have lower production cost than those of wood based panels since raw material for cardboard panel manufacture is widely available and has low cost as compared wood raw material
