AGENDA 4. FOREST RESEARCH PRIORITIES FOR NEXT 20-25
YEARS
The main topic of the thrust areas on which research would be focussed for the
future are.

Wood alternative-from bamboo, agro and forest residue.

Utilization of plantation timber for higher grade panel, Particle
Medium
Board
Density Fiber Board (MDF) and oriented strand board.

Bio- adhesive and non-formaldehyde adhesives

LCA and energy auditing of structural products from wood and other
lignocelluloses material to enhance their use in place of conventional
structural
components made from non-renewable-metal, mineral, petro- chemicals etc.

Wood products resistant to fire, weathering, soil contact, sea water, radiation etc.

Disaster resistant & luxury resort houses from naturally occurring, renewable

Bamboo Mat Moulded items [trays], Bamboo Mat Corrugated Sheet [BMCS] for
roofing. Bamboo Mat Ridge cap, Bamboo Mat Compregs, Bamboo Mat Moulded
Skin Board Bamboo Veneer Flexi –plywood,Bamboo Particle Board.
Another important new area of research is utilization of agro residues like rice
husks, coir, bagasse jute, wheat straw, rice straw etc. for making panels or
boards suitable for specific end uses in place of plywood/wood particle/fibre
boards.
Affordable Housing System – Under collaborative project sponsored by
DFID/TRADA UK and BMTPC New Delhi, IPIRTI has developed cost effective
housing systems by using plantation wood, glued laminated wood, plywood
panels from non-wood origin like BMB, BMVC, BMCS for various housing
components like rectangular beams, I-beams, Doors, Window shutters, trusses,
gussets, etc.
