A method for the production of panels, wherein said panels at least comprise a layer-shaped substrate comprising recycled material from end-of-life panels or boards,
- wherein the method comprises the step of providing end-of-life panels or boards,
- wherein the method further comprises the step of shaping said end-of-life panels or boards into plate-shaped or beam-shaped pieces by subjecting the end-of-life panels or boards to one or more of the following shaping steps:
- cutting, sawing, milling, pressing, performing surface treatments such as shaving, peeling or sanding, or delaminating;
- wherein said plate-shaped or beam-shaped pieces form said recycled material and
- wherein said recycled material forms at least half the thickness of said layer-shaped substrate.
A method for the production of panels, wherein said panels at least comprise a layer-shaped substrate, a top layer, such as a decorative layer or a balancing layer, and an intermediate layer between said layer-shaped substrate and said top layer, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- providing end-of-life panels or boards;
- comminuting said end-of-life panels or boards into particles;
- wherein said particles are supplied to form said intermediate layer and form at least 50 weight percentage of the intermediate layer.
A panel, for example a floor panel or a wall panel or a furniture panel,
- wherein said panel comprises at least a layer-shaped substrate,
- wherein said layer-shaped substrate comprises recycled material from end-of-life panels or boards,
- wherein said recycled material comprises plate-shaped or beam-shaped pieces,
- wherein said pieces are obtained by subjecting said end-of-life panels or boards to one or more of the following shaping steps:
- cutting, sawing, milling, pressing, performing surface treatments such as shaving, peeling or sanding, or delaminating.
