What happens to our leftover wood?
waste wood and bulk materials
Of course, we have leftover wood. However, with a large BUT: Because our residual materials, which arise during the extraction of long timber, are not waste, but valuable raw materials.
wood chips, sawdust and milling chips are used in the paper and pulp industry and as a raw material for chipboard. Bark is processed into organic garden soil, which means that everything is used and no resources are wasted.
Note: The minimum order quantity for bulk goods is approximately 100 srm or approximately 25 tons.
