Waste wood
Currently up to 10 million tonnes of waste wood is produced in the UK each year, most of which goes to landfill.
Waste wood arises from a wide variety of sources, in varying quantities and levels of purity. The main three areas in which waste wood arises are:-
- Construction and Demolition (C&D)
- Municipal Solid Waste (MSW); and
- Commercial and Industrial (C&I)
Defra has produced a market information report to provide an overview of the current shape of the waste wood market and expected direction of travel.
