German term

Bauspanplatte

German to English Bus/Financial Forestry / Wood / Timber Uses for rewycled wood
A term which I cannot find in any of my reference sources is Bauspanplatte.

Taken from a survey of the supply of recycled wood. It is a column heading in a table:

"Baustellensortimente, Dielen, Bauspanplatten, Türblätter und Zar­gen von Innentüren".

I am guessing that it means wooden boards removed from demolished buildings. Is that so?

chipboard used on construction sites

I doubt whether there is a term like this in English.
But this is what is meant.

agree Kim Metzger : I think "construction chipboard" or "structural chipboard" would work.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Lancashireman : Sorry, Ingrid, but the presence of the definite article 'the' here sounds non-native. Where did you find 'particle board', by the way? // I don't think I would find any at my local B&Q.

I found "particle board" = "Spanplatte" in Brandstetter UniLex Wörterbuch der industriellen Technik. Additionally please vide above reference link.
