My experience with fiber board is.....Water/moisture + Fiberboard =
BAD

Had a storage area that needed a cover..Just needed something quick and
it was the right size. We primed, painted, and sealed it. It didn't
last long at all. This was under an overhang, which did give it some
protection, it did get some direct weather depending on the wind, but
over all it was out of direct sun and rain.

Didn't last a year.

I'd bet against it. There was a class action lawsuit because
masonite siding didn't hold up well in many parts of the country.
I don't see how recycled fiber board is any better.

That depends on how you recycle it. If you were to make sure it had plenty
of wet strength additive, it might work out just fine. If it isn't going to
get wet, then even that wouldn't be an problem. Make sure it is well sealed
and primed. Also try a bit of product testing before you go and sell it to
the world.
