United Kingdom
| Technique | Applicability | |
|---|---|---|
| a | Reuse internally collected wood residues, such as trimmings and rejected panels, as a raw material. | The applicability for reject fibreboard panel products may be limited. |
| b | Use internally collected wood residues, such as wood fines and dust collected in a dust abatement system and wood sludge from waste water filtration, as fuel (in appropriately equipped on-site combustion plants) or as a raw material. | The use of wood sludge as a fuel may be restricted if the energy consumption needed for drying outweighs the environmental benefits. |
| c | Use ring collection systems with one central filtration unit to optimise the collection of residues, e.g. bag filter, cyclofilter, or high efficiency cyclones. | Generally applicable for new plants. The layout of an existing plant may limit the applicability. |
