Unilin will expand its fiberboard recycling capacity at its MDF plant in Bazeilles, France, with the launch of the Osiris 2.0 facility. The industrial-scale installation, set for completion in fall 2025, will increase the site's recycling capacity from 1 to 10 tonnes per hour, processing both post-consumer MDF material and production waste.

The Osiris 2.0 system will replace Unilin’s Osiris 1.0 pilot installation at the same location. Dieffenbacher, which supplies the Osiris technology, will provide fiber sifters, glue preparation and dosing systems, a PROjet glue-saving system, and an optimized steam explosion vessel designed by its Austrian division.

The plant will recycle fiberboard materials from sources including bulky waste and production residues from Unilin’s MDF and HDF manufacturing processes. “This project demonstrates our readiness for large-scale fiberboard recycling,” said Jan Gallet, General Manager MDF at Unilin.

The plant’s completion in 2025 will mark a significant step in Unilin’s efforts to expand fiberboard recycling at its Bazeilles facility.
