Wood processing waste: The forestry industry harvests and collects wood for two major ends: fiber for pulp (and eventually paper) and for chip board and the stronger oriented strand board (OSB), as well as lumber for the construction industry. ... There is, however, a fairly significant portion of the timber that is transported to mills that goes to waste: cut-ends, sawdust, rejected wood that is too warped, pulp batches that are unsaleable. ... Wood processing waste can be used as brute biomass and burned for thermal electricity generation. 3, record 1, English, - wood%20processing%20residues
