Abstract This study aimed to verify technical potential of using waste from wood veneers and plywood as a raw material for the production of MDP. The variance analysis of the panels density was carried out. Physical-mechanical properties were evaluated by comparing them with the international standards and by analysis of variance. The averages were subjected to the analysis of covariance, at the level of 5% probability. Finally, Pearson’s correlation analysis between properties was performed. The panels produced with “log core” and “veneer clippings” residues showed equivalent averages for physical properties and higher for mechanical properties of internal bond and surface screw withdrawal, when compared the averages of panels produced with commercial particles. Panels produced with “plywood cutting” showed unsatisfactory mechanical properties. It’s concluded that the “log core” and “veneer clippings” residues show potential for use as a raw material in the composition of MDP.
