Assessing the availability of wood residues and residue markets in Virginia
1999
Alderman, D.R. Jr | Smith, R.L. | Reddy, V.S.
A statewide mail survey of Virginia's wood products manufacturers was conducted to quantify the generation and consumption of wood residues in Virginia. A total of 266 wood products manufacturers responded to the study. They provided information on the generation, consumption, markets, income or disposal costs, and disposal methods of wood residues. Hardwood and pine sawmills generate approximately 66 percent of Virginia's wood residues. Virginia's wood products manufacturers generate three primary residues: chips, bark, and sawdust. These three residues comprised nearly 83 percent of Virginia's total residue generation in 1996. Approximately 197,400 tons or 6 percent of Virginia's wood residues appear not to have adequate markets. Furthermore, we estimate that primary manufacturers have approximately 267,000 tons of wood residues and secondary manufacturers have nearly 127,000 tons of wood residues without adequate markets in 1996.
