Plywood, veneer panels and similar laminated wood of bamboo

cpc code 31450 covers the production of plywood, veneer panels, and other similar laminated wood products made from bamboo. This industry plays a crucial role in the global wood products supply chain, providing essential materials for construction, furniture manufacturing, and a wide range of other applications. As a renewable and versatile resource, bamboo-based wood products have gained increasing popularity in recent years, driven by growing environmental awareness and the need for sustainable alternatives to traditional timber sources.

The production of plywood, veneer panels, and similar laminated wood products from bamboo typically involves a multi-step process. First, bamboo culms are harvested and processed into thin veneer sheets. These sheets are then dried, graded, and arranged in alternating grain directions before being bonded together using adhesives. The resulting panels are then trimmed, sanded, and finished to meet specific quality and dimensional requirements.

The primary inputs for this industry include raw bamboo material, adhesives (such as urea-formaldehyde or phenol-formaldehyde resins), and various machinery and equipment used for cutting, drying, pressing, and finishing the wood products. Specialized tools and equipment, such as veneer slicers, hot presses, and sanding machines, are also essential for the production process.

The main outputs of this industry are plywood, veneer panels, and other laminated wood products made from bamboo. These materials are widely used in the construction industry for applications such as 44201 Wooden doors and windows, 31200 Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, and 31100 Wooden containers. Additionally, the output of this industry may be consumed by the 31300 Wooden furniture and 31400 Other products of wood; articles of cork, straw and plaiting materials industries.
