What are some common types of wood-based panels, and which are more environmentally friendly and healthier?

Recently, a friend asked what kind of board material is suitable for making a wardrobe. There are many types of boards available now, each with its own appeal. Today, we'll discuss some environmentally friendly and healthy boards. One type is called MDF (Medium-density Fiberboard), and the other is plywood. Both meet current standards and are popular with many people. Compared to other boards, they are healthier and more environmentally friendly, and are currently very popular in the market. They are suitable for making wardrobes. Let's take a closer look at the details of these two boards.

1. MDF (Medium-density fiberboard)

Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is very common in the market; it's also called fiberboard, and its high density is a key characteristic. MDF comes in two types: plant-based and wood-based, offering advantages over other types of boards. MDF is made of fibers and adhesives, making it a man-made product that is particularly environmentally friendly and healthy. This meets current market demands. However, many people question its health, arguing that adhesives are unhealthy and therefore MDF must be unhealthy as well. This is a misconception. Modern adhesives are generally made with green and healthy materials, posing no harm and aligning with current environmental standards. Therefore, the resulting MDF is very healthy and, being entirely man-made, is particularly safe. It's very popular in today's market, with many people buying it for furniture, especially for its sturdy and durable wardrobes.

2. Plywood

Plywood is a popular building material and an essential component for wardrobe construction, its quality widely recognized. It's often referred to as "fine-core board" in the market, and comes in various types, divided into six specifications, allowing you to choose according to your preferences and requirements.
