MDF or medium-density fiberboard is an engineered wood product and one of the most used alternative-to-wood materials to craft all kinds of furniture today. It is made by breaking down remains of hardwood or softwood into wood fibers, then mixing it with wax and a binder in a defibrator and shaping it into panels by applying high pressure and temperature. This material’s most concerning problem is the use of Formaldehyde as a binding agent in the process of molding and pressing the panels. Formaldehyde is a human carcinogen recognized as a hazard in the United States and has already been banned in most European countries.
