What is Fibre Waste Grinding?
Fibre waste grinding is the process of transforming wood fibre waste like tree branches, tree bark, brush, unchippable log chunks and any other wood waste fibre into reusable materials. This process involves several steps that ensure the waste is efficiently and effectively repurposed.
The Reason for Wood Fibre Waste Processing
Fibre waste can be introduced through many processes throughout the production and forestry industry. After limbing a fallen tree, branches and leaves are left behind and need to be disposed of. This is where BC Eco comes in.
Sorting and Pre-Processing
Once collected, the fibre waste is sorted to remove any contaminants or non-fibre materials. There are grades given to different piles of waste depending on wood, purity, and size.
Grinding Process
The sorted fibre waste is then fed into specialized grinding machines. These machines break down the waste into smaller, more manageable pieces. These wood chips or sawdust can be reused in various applications.
Reduction in Landfill Waste
By grinding fibre waste, BC Eco significantly reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. This not only saves space but also minimizes the environmental impact associated with waste disposal.
Resource Conservation
Grinding and repurposing fibre waste helps conserve natural resources. By reusing waste materials, there is less need to harvest new raw materials, which can deplete natural reserves.
Energy Savings
The process of grinding and reusing fibre waste consumes less energy compared to producing new materials from scratch. Also, the process of using these chips or sawdust in large scale operations like mills can also provide energy.
