Abstract
Production of Medium Density Fibreboards (MDF) is one of the growing woodworking industries. It has been found that a quarter of the produced MDFs have a life cycle of up to five years, and by ten years, this amount has increased to fifty percent. There is no established industrial practice for recycling that type of waste. That, together with the fact that some countries have banned the dumping of these panels in landfills, poses significant challenges. There are currently two main research directions on MDF recycling, namely with and without pre-treatment. In both cases, with an increase in the content of recycled fibres, a deterioration in the properties of the panels is observed. Still, the share of cut fibres and formaldehyde emissions from the boards are reduced during the preliminary treatment, mainly by hydrolysis. In the present manuscript, a review and analysis of MDF recycling methods are performed. On that base, conclusions and recommendations are derived.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
