Wood Recycling
Wood Recycling
Recycling wood waste presents a serious challenge for today’s cabinet, furniture, flooring, and other woodworking manufacturers:
- Material comes in a wide range of dimensional variations and types
- Wood waste is being generated by multiple machines at different locations in your shop
- Landfill costs have increased 300% over past 5 years
- Critical shortages in the availability of skilled labor
- Unplanned interruptions that impact efficient material flow
- Loss of significant floor space in highly coveted production areas
- Renewed focus on improving cash-flow and exploring ROI opportunities
- Satisfying unique requirements for safe operations in the age of COVID-19
Costs of Wood Waste Disposal
Manufacturers in the woodworking industry are seeking improved utilization of raw materials and production staff to protect and sustain healthy profit margins in an extremely difficult economy. According to research, costs for dumping or disposing of wood waste increased 300% in the last 5 years. This has intensified the need for woodworking companies to find more efficient and effective methods to recycle their waste materials and recapture lost revenue.
Different Approaches to Grinding Wood Waste: Centralized Grinding vs. Zone Grinding
Finding your shop’s efficiency “Sweet Spot” for managing wood waste is different for every company, and a one-size-fits-all approach cannot be taken when it comes to implementing winning wood waste grinding solutions. For some companies, having just one large vertical grinder in a centralized location is a great solution for recycling large sheets of reject material and emptying out full tippers of scrap.
