Dongwha Enterprise Partners with Yeongyang County, Gyeongbuk to Recycle Wildfire-Damaged Timber

Transforming Wildfire-Damaged Trees into High Value-Added Wood Products

Dongwha Enterprise announced on the 4th that it has signed a business agreement with Yeongyang County in Gyeongsangbuk-do to recycle trees damaged by wildfires into wood products.

Through this agreement, the two parties will reproduce the wildfire-damaged trees into high value-added wood products such as particle board (PB) and medium-density fiberboard (MDF), thereby increasing the self-sufficiency rate of domestic timber and contributing to the recovery and economic revitalization of wildfire-affected areas.

Yeongyang County will give priority to supplying wildfire-damaged trees produced from county-owned forests within the emergency logging project area this month, and will coordinate additional supply volumes through future consultations. Dongwha Enterprise plans to reprocess these into wood-based panel materials, contributing to resource circulation.

Although wildfire-damaged trees may show charring on the surface, there are no issues with internal quality, so they can be sufficiently used as interior and exterior construction materials.

Meanwhile, particle board and medium-density fiberboard are wood-based panel products made from waste wood, domestic logs, and sawmill by-products as raw materials. These products preserve wood in a fixed form for an extended period, effectively storing carbon within the product.
