I would like information on recycling waste wood. I work for the largest manufacture of roof, and floor trusses as well as wall panels in the US. We generate 400 cubic yards of clean wood waste per week at one location alone. With production increasing this number will increase as well. I see an opportunity here and need your help.

Sincerely,
Jonathan

Wood pellets are a good use for all that softwood. I think the market for pellet stoves is pretty good. I use them for cat litter and there is nothing better.

There are many biomass burners up here in the midwest burning all the wood they can get their hands on.

I presume your wast is SPF rips and offcuts? Not sure what kind of end product you could make with that kind of stuff though.

Not sure where you are located Jonathan but as Jason noted, here in the midwest there are many facilities burning biomass. Also, have you explored the mulch market? It's typically a higher value-added product than fuel.

My company manufactures grinding equipment that generates a product that can be used for wood fuel, animal bedding or mulch to name a few. Feel free to look up weimaamerica.com

If you have a wood grinder to make a uniform chip, you can blow or auger all the waste into trailers and sell the product for wood pellets, briquettes, or animal bedding.You can do this yourself if you want to have a seperate sawdust business and have your own trailers, tractor, driver etc. In some areas, you can get a sawdust guy with thier own equipment that pays you by the load or ton and then he figures out where to deliver it and you have fewer headaches.

Jonathan.

Over the pond here, all that timber offcuts from kit house manufacturing cant be sold for firewood.

Due to the fact that the wood has been treated with preservative, anti fungals, etc,

Recycling
whether it is a profitable business?
In my country there are many factories composite wood products, and raw material prices are getting higher. Recycling is not very popular. Now this is something new.

Wood is actually the Co2 of your granddad !
Those trees have reworked it to the best material you van make of Co2 . And we have too little wood for the 9.000.000.000.000 children coming up in the next 25 years and we have already too much Co2 , so I would considder reworking it in to a new product . We do that over here in the Netherlands for more than 20 years now , and we don't buy any wood , and still produce over 500 tables a year , and lots of flooring . With those amounts it is time to buy yourselves good machines and start making money out of that waste ! .
