Gardner Cited in BDN Article on Bids to Reuse Fiber Materials

Douglas Gardner, a professor of wood science and technology at the University of Maine, was quoted in a Bangor Daily News article about four companies — including UMaine — submitting proposals to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection on how to reuse 27,000 tons of fiber materials that have been stored in Warren for 14 years. Gardner said the university’s proposal is to conduct a feasibility study on whether the waste fiber can be used as material for road construction.
