B. Alternate Materials Technology

Successful research projects will address the use of non-traditional materials or combinations of materials to produce wood-based composites. The use of alternate technologies may establish the viability of alternate raw materials for improved product performance and/or lower costs. The outcomes of research for this theme will support individual member efforts to improve existing products, develop new products, or identify new markets.
