The amount of beverage carton using has been increasing 2500
tons in Taiwan 1992. In terms of en- vironmental problem, the
beverage carton are better than the glass bottles. But , in the
opinion of re- sources saving and reducing the reuse of
beverage rubbish seems to be very important nowaday. In this
investigation, using the clean beverage carton waste comes from
the factory as raw material, by different treatments, it
becomes two series of particleboards. The No Glue type and with
Urea- Foraldehyde-Resin Glue type which mixed with China fir
particles. The properties of particleboards from this two
series were summerized as following: Most properties of the No
Glue type Particle- board made from waste A and B tally the CNS
2215 standard. In high temperature, the the waste materials of
polyethylene and aluminium foil that will conjugate stronger,
so that the bonding between particles strength increased. But
this particleboard will sof- ten again in high temperature, so
this type particle boards were suggested don''t be used when the
tempera- ture is higher than 70℃. Mixed with the different
amounts of China fir particles to four kinds of beverage carton
waste to make the Glue type particleboard bonded with UF-glue .
The strength was increased by the amount of China fir
particles, but moisture content and thickness swellings of
those particleboards were raised. PE & aluminium foil of the
beverage carton wast will dis- turb the bonding between the
beverage carton parti- cles and UF glue, so that the strength
of particle board will decrease, but it can prevent the absorp-
tion of water. By the initial experience of this investigation
,the particleboards using beverage carton waste made in
laboratory which showed good outlooking proper- ties , physical
and mechanical properties. But it must think about technique
and economical problems for useful utilization of this beverage
carton waste
