Abstract

This study aimed to analyze an optimal utilization system to maximize the economic value of domestic oak (Quercus Mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb.) log in the value chain to expand the use of wood resources and by-products. Initially, visits were made to medium-density fiberboard (MDF) factories and other companies that utilize domestic oaks to assess the size and quality of products at each stage of use, as well as the status of by-product collection and sales. Furthermore, potential alternatives to wood processing or by-product utilization were explored to facilitate the transition to a bio-economical system. Subsequently, an analysis was conducted to identify the types and quantities of wood products that could be derived from oak and evaluate the economic and environmental benefits of usage scenarios if they were adopted as new alternative resources. Finally, based on the study findings, suggestions are made for future enhancements in the domestic wood distribution process and by-product utilization system, with a focus on the application of a forest-based bioeconomy. The production of flooring boards using high-frequency vacuum drying has been highlighted as a means to increase the value-added and extend the carbon storage period by promoting its use as a long-lived product. Therefore, in addition to endeavors to enhance the price competitiveness of domestic wood products and explore ways to leverage high value-added by-products, there is a need to invest in advancing technology to maximize the value-added potential of domestic wood products.
