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.
