 Wood is the hard substrate that compromises
most trees, bushes and shrubs.
 It consists of :
 Cellulose
 Hemi-cellulose
 Lignin

2.
 Trees provide us with more than 5,000
products that people use every day
 From photographic film to paints and from
toothpaste to tires, tree-based chemicals
and other wood by-products are all around
us
 They provide shade, oxygen, fruit, nuts and
wood products such as paper, furniture and
housing etc

3.
USES
 Fuel
 Construction
 Furniture and utensils

4.
 Engineered wood
 In the arts
 Sports and recreational equipment

5.
WOOD RECYCLING
 The process by which clean waste wood,
containing no contaminants or hazardous materials
such as glue, lead paint, asbestos or creosote, are
ground into chips and used to make new products
 Tree branches, stumps, pallets and clean scrap
wood from construction sites are all examples of
clean waste wood

Wood
crushing
Thermal
treatment
Separation

7.
WOOD CRUSHER
 The crusher reduces the wood from its
original size to two inch long splinters

8.
THERMAL PROCESS
 Gets mixed with hot gases
and other molecules
 Once heated they are
condensed and it is
repeated again and again
till it becomes light
 That way the wood
generates enough
hydrocarbon gases to
maintain the system in
auto-combustion

9.
SEPERATION STEP
Here the carbon is separated
from the other minerals
The clean carbon is packed
into airtight big-bags of 800
kg, while the other minerals
are put into metallic drums.

BENEFITS OF RECYCLING
 Reduces cutting of new trees
 Preserves the forest habitat of many birds and
animals
 Reduces the incidence of soil erosion
 Reduces landfill space
 Increases job in economy

11.
 Using less paper is a great way to help save
our ancient forests. Here are some ways that
you can use less paper:
 Write on both sides of every piece of paper
try to use scratch paper or half sheets
whenever possible
 Put a cloth napkin in your backpack, purse,
or lunch pail and use it instead of paper
napkins

12.
 Take a canvas bag to the grocery store instead of
using paper bags
 Use cloth towels at home to clean up spills instead
of paper towels and use real cups and plates
instead of paper ones
 100% post-consumer recycled paper
 A fourth way we can use less wood is to build our
homes beautiful, inexpensive earth-friendly, homes
