What is residual wood?

Residual wood refers to the leftover wood materials that remain after the primary products, such as lumber or timber, have been processed from logs. This can include wood chips, sawdust, bark, and other by-products generated during the milling and manufacturing processes. Residual wood is often used for various purposes, including bioenergy production, mulch, or as raw material for engineered wood products. Utilizing residual wood promotes sustainability by minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency in the forestry and wood industries.
