Does disposal of OSB in a landfill harm the environment? |
 |
Landfilling of typical OSB is a safe practice which consumers and contractors should engage in freely if no other alternatives for disposal or recycling are available, based on present information and manufacturing technology.
Typically, OSB is 95 to 97 percent wood, and 3 to 5 percent additives like wax and resin. The characteristics of a well-managed landfill will mitigate any adverse effects to health or the environment. |
