Particleboard Creation from Agricultural Waste Residue of Seed Hemp.

In this research, agricultural residue of seed hemp variety "Adzelvieši" was used to create hemp particleboard samples. Hemp was grown in three experimental fields where it was observed that after seed harvesting, 3.5 tonnes of hemp stems per hectare remained.

Production of Particleboard Using Various Particle Size Hemp Shives as Filler.

Research was performed into the use of hemp shive as a fast-growing and carbon-storing agricultural waste material in the production of particleboard for the construction industry. Hemp shives were acquired and prepared for board production with the use of milling and sieving to reach two target groups with 0.5 mm to 2 mm and 2 mm to 5.
