Wood Waste Resource Efficiency Project
The BWF has secured funding from WRAP and BRE Trust to run pilot studies on how the joinery industry and its supply chain can reduce the amount of wood waste it produces and improve efficiency.
If you are a BWF member company, more details about the project, pilot studies and other information about wood waste can be found by logging into the 'Members Area' of this website.

What happens to wood waste now?
The Wood Recyclers Association, formed in 2001, is the main trade association for companies involved in wood recycling in the UK.
Its 57 member companies were responsible for recycling 1.5 million tonnes of the 2 million tonnes total wood waste recycled in the UK in 2008.
The main use of wood waste is in panel board manufacture (1.19 million tonnes) but biomass energy saw a 48% increase in wood waste usage to 370,000 tonnes over 2007 figures (250,000 tonnes).
