About fibreboard of wood or other ligneous materials

cpc code 3144 covers the production of fibreboard, a versatile and widely used construction material. Fibreboard is made from wood or other plant-based fibrous materials, and is valued for its strength, insulation properties, and ease of use. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction, furniture, and packaging sectors, contributing to the broader economy through the supply of essential building materials.

Production process

The production of fibreboard typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as wood chips or agricultural waste, are broken down into individual fibers. These fibers are then mixed with water and other binding agents, and formed into panels or sheets under heat and pressure. The resulting fibreboard can be further processed, such as by adding surface treatments or cutting it to specific sizes, before being distributed to end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fibreboard include wood or other plant-based fibrous materials, such as 0111 Cereals, 0121 Vegetables and melons, or 0122 Fruits. Additionally, the industry relies on various chemicals and binders, as well as specialized machinery for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the production of fibreboard.

Production outputs

The primary output of the fibreboard industry is, of course, fibreboard panels and sheets. These products are widely used in the construction industry, where they serve as insulation, sheathing, and structural components in buildings. Fibreboard is also commonly used in the manufacture of furniture, packaging, and other industrial applications. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by industries such as 2511 Manufacture of structural metal products, 3100 Manufacture of furniture, and 1702 Manufacture of corrugated paper and paperboard and of containers of paper and paperboard.
