Ah, I totally get you now.

I've never seen any palettes made of plywood, but clearly they exist then. I guess that basically means that no plywood is good for compost or proper recycling, unless perhaps grinding up into particle board..?

It's safe for reuse, but probably not for recycling. I don't know if it can even be safely burned.

Just for info, you're talking about plywood.

MDF is individual tiny fibres glued together and one uniform colour without layers

Still no good for recycling or burning!

Burning plywood or MDF is not recommended. The glue could release some toxic fumes.

Manufactured wood has glue in it - generally not safe to burn.
