The corresponding weaknesses of wood products, such as fragmentation, heavy weight, and the need to deal with the export of solid wood, are all important factors that hinder them from becoming the leading role of packaging in the pharmaceutical and chemical fields, so the material direction needs to solve some of the above weaknesses (for example, the lvl board, which is popular now, can almost rival solid wood in physical properties and does not need fumigation, which is a good innovation).
Another potential development direction is new structure, such as rivet falcon structure for furniture, which is firm without nails and can greatly reduce transportation cost and standardization (just like jigsaw puzzles, which have only a few boms, but can spell out various needed structures and sizes).
