Non-agglomerated wood waste and scrap

cpc code 39283 covers the industry of non-agglomerated wood waste and scrap. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader wood products and recycling sectors, providing a valuable source of raw materials for various downstream industries. The proper management and utilization of this wood waste stream contribute to the overall sustainability and efficiency of the wood-based economy.

The production of non-agglomerated wood waste and scrap typically involves the collection, sorting, and processing of various wood-based materials, such as sawdust, wood chips, and shredded pallets. These materials are often generated as byproducts or waste from other wood-processing activities, such as 39281 Sawmilling and planing of wood or 39282 Manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels. The collected wood waste is then processed through techniques like chipping, grinding, or shredding to reduce the size and prepare the material for further utilization.

The main inputs required for the production of non-agglomerated wood waste and scrap include the raw wood-based materials, such as sawdust, wood chips, and shredded pallets. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as chippers, grinders, and shredders, are necessary to process the wood waste into the desired form. The industry may also rely on transportation services to collect and distribute the processed wood waste to various end-users.

The primary output of the non-agglomerated wood waste and scrap industry is the processed wood material, which can be used as a fuel source (e.g., 35112 Manufacture of wood pellets) or as a raw material for other wood-based products (e.g., 39281 Sawmilling and planing of wood, 39282 Manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels, 39284 Manufacture of other wood products, or 38120 Recycling of metal and non-metal waste and scrap).
