Reducing waste disposal costs

A significant part of the wood processed through a sawmill does not end up as a timber product. In some cases, up to a half of the processed wood is not utilised as timber. This material is sawn, shaved or cut off and therefore is comprised of many different forms. A large propotion of this is usually sold on for other purposes. Avoiding the high costs of disposing of the remaining waste to landfills is a principal economic driver for new bioenergy plant.
