We aim to eliminate waste and protect the environment.
The collection of used pallets and waste wood is carried out according to the requirements of environmental legislation.
Wood recycling is an important environmental practice, full of interesting facts, from its surprisingly high recovery rates in industry to the variety of new uses it has.
Percentages and efficiency
- High industrial recovery rate: In the wood industry, the waste recovery rate reaches about 83.6%, which is much higher than in other industrial sectors.
- Almost all of it is used: about 85% of the collected wood goes through a proper recycling process, while the rest, which is not suitable for recycling, is often used as fuel to generate energy in specialized plants.
Surprising uses for recycled wood
- Animal bedding: Recycled wood can be made into warm, absorbent bedding for animals such as horses, birds or rodents.
- Mulch and fuel: Strips or chips of recycled wood are used as mulch to prevent weed growth in gardens, and as solid biofuel for heating plants and boilers.
- New materials: high quality recycled wood is transformed back into raw material to produce chipboard (chipboard, MDF), contributing to the circular economy.
Challenges and impact
- Chemicals are a barrier: Wood treated with paints, varnishes or other chemicals can generate toxic gases through combustion and is often not recycled by conventional methods because of the negative effects of these solutions.
- Saves energy: Recovered wood processing usually has a lower carbon footprint because it bypasses the energy-intensive stages of harvesting and initial processing of virgin raw material.
- Protects forests: Recycling wood is essential for the preservation of our forests, which provide habitats for animals, help prevent landslides and absorb carbon dioxide, giving off oxygen.
