The Amazon Region (AR), with its vast biodiversity and rich natural resources, presents a unique opportunity for the development of sustainable polymer composites (PCs) reinforced residues from both timber agro-extractivism industries. This study explores potential Amazonian residues, such as sawdust, wood shavings, agro-industrial by-products açaí seeds Brazil nut shells, to enhance mechanical, thermal, environmental properties composites. By integrating these materials into matrices, significant improvements in composite performance were achieved, including increased tensile strength, thermal stability, biodegradability. also highlights economic benefits using promoting waste reduction supporting circular economy region. Through case studies detailed analyses, this demonstrates feasibility advantages incorporating wide range applications, construction consumer goods. approach not only adds value industries, but contributes global effort toward material development.

Abstract Agro-industrial residues are generated in large quantities and have the potential to be repurposed for development of materials. Currently, there few studies on use from oil extraction process buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) sustainable panels. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate characterize addition residue panels produced with wood polyurethane resin. The has a high extractive content (72%), while an 10.14%. Multilayer showed reduction Modulus Rupture (MOR) value (2.17 MPa) compared (9.11 MPa). Despite mechanical properties, exhibited low thickness swelling (~5%), demonstrating their non-structural humid conditions, interior design, or furniture outdoor areas.

Abstract This work seeks to produce wood-based panels with Amazon wood sawing residues and castor oil-based polyurethane resin as binder. Three types of were produced, the following proportions: 25%, 30%, 35%. Physical chemical tests performed assess potential for using this residue, physical mechanical properties evaluated. Tukey test was a 5% probability verify significance between means different panels. The results show that produced have high density (~800 kg/m3), modulus rupture (~11 N/mm2), which meet (Non-structural) required by Brazilian particleboard standards, demonstrating its in use non-structural furniture or finishing. However, did not elasticity (~900 N/mm2) property, indicating need propose ways improve property such future research
