Local Councils and Municipalities often have obligations to recycle their waste wood volumes under EU Regulations. These regulations influenced a decision by the UK Government, who have now set a scale of targets for each region, to ensure recyclable waste streams are diverted away from landfill sites.

The regulations state that recyclable material should ideally have another use as a ‘product’, as opposed to being combusted in Energy via biomass fed power stations, South West Wood Products Ltd is one of the largest and most successful recyclers of local authority waste wood material ensuring that over 100,000 tonnes per annum is turned from a waste back to a product.

With this in mind South West Wood Products are able to offer significant recycling percentages to our suppliers once the material has been supplied to a panel board mill. Comprehensive reporting for waste data flow and compliance is provided as standard on a quarterly basis to ensure our customers can evidence that the material has been recycled into panel board manufacturers.

Over the last few years the UK has seen several large-scale biomass boilers start to commission and come online. Approx. 3.1 million tonnes of wood is going into UK energy supply, representing 3,500 GWh of annual domestic power production. This is enough to power over 1 million UK households.

South West Wood Products have long term supply contracts with wood fired power stations in and around South Wales and the South West of England. Using all grades of non-hazardous waste wood and state of the art machinery we can produce various high specification fuels.

We work with commercial waste management companies, demolition specialists and many other types of contractors to accept a variety of wood grades at any of our six processing facilities.
