In fact, biocomposite materials coming from forestry and agricultural wastes are not new to the world. There are several kinds of biocomposite which are oriented strand board, cement board, particle board, fiber board (hardboard, medium density board, insulation board) and LVL. Yet, solid woods  have been widely utilized to obtain particle board but wood waste and agrofiber waste have been narrowly used and been developed in wood industries due to limited information on how to produce particle board well with high quality and recovery. In nature, wood and agrofiber are naturally occurring composites consisting of cellulose fibers (reinforcement) in lignin (matrix). Composites having superior properties such as high modulus, and creep, impact, and heat resistance have replaced steel, concrete, and wood in transportation, building/construction, engineering, marine, aerospace, and chemical industries (Kumar et al. 2011). In other hand, the utilization of biocomposite board is caused by the global environmental concerns for materials that are biodegradable. Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide composite systems that (1) are biodegradable in the environment, (2) are thermoplastic so that they can be moulded, cast, extruded, or otherwise melt-processed into various forms including films, fibres, coatings, and foams, (3) can be manufactured at reasonable cost, (4) have sufficient toughness, strength and stability during use (Onyeagoro 2012).  

In making biocomposite board - based wood waste and agrofiber waste, there is a procedure should be executed as follows:

a)             Wood waste particles are used. In addition, the agricultural lignocellulosic fibers used in this study are sugar cane, bagasse, rice straw, wheat straw, sunflower stalks, bamboo, sisal, jute, and so forth. We can add used newspaper, magazine, tissue, sludge to reinforce the board if they are provided .

b)             The particles are prepared by cutting each of the sections into 2 or 4 cm lengths. Commercial UF resin adhesive (65 wt.% of solid content) is used as the composite binder added with 10 wt % NH₄Cl solution as a hardener

c)             Wood particles and agrofiber particles are manufactured and converted into several kinds of biocomposite board such as oriented strand board, cement board, particle board, fiber board (hardboard, medium density board, insulation board) and LVL

d)            Wood particles and agrofiber particles could be mixed or be separated based on the final !--object--ive. Then they are sprayed with 10 wt% (based on the weight of the oven dried raw material) commercial UF resin adhesive while rotating the mixer

e)             Then, the particles was cold pressed at 30 psi and left for 2 minutes before hot pressing.The mixture was then hot pressed, to form composite boards at a peak pressure of 500 psi and a temperature of 140 ^oC. Total pressing time was 4 min (1 min to reach full pressure). Board samples were pre-conditioned at 25 ^oC and 5% RH before using

f)              The next process is the carving of biocomposite board or the utilization of board as component of wood carving furniture.
