Surveys were undertaken via face-to-face interviews. It was found that medium-density fibreboard
(MDF), and to a lesser extent, chipboard, were used in the manufacture of furniture, and two major types
of waste in the form of fine dust and small fragments of board are generated during the cutting of these
boards. Of the resulting composite board waste, 96.9% was used for heating homes and workplaces,
where it was burnt under conditions of incomplete combustion.
