Why is paint allowed on "Wood for recycling" but not on "clean debris for crushing"?

This is due to the process "Wood for recycling" goes through before it is recycled into particleboard. Before the wood is turned into particleboard, it is cleaned of paint, lamination and other surface treatments. These materials are collected at the particleboard factory and disposed of as combustible waste.

The chunks, on the other hand, are crushed and subsequently used as, for example, recycled stabilisers. This material is placed directly on the ground and can pose a risk if it contains paint or other treatments. Instead of benefiting the environment through recycling, it can inadvertently harm it by creating a contaminated landfill. This is not only inappropriate, but also against current regulations.
