Yeah, that cheap composite wood is use once and dump. It can’t even survive a move sometimes. But is it a sustainability problem? No. In fact if I can recycle

Yeah, that cheap composite wood is use once and dump. It can’t even survive a move sometimes. But is it a sustainability problem? No. In fact if I can recycle wood destined for the furnace into engineered wood, it’s better. If I can recycle engineered wood to become engineered wood again, it’s better. The other benefit of real wood you mention (restoring and finish) happens less in the western world. Here they dump and move on. Sadly.
