Hawthorn Timber generate wood shavings during our timber manufacturing process, and these are recovered and re-used as animal bedding, ensuring this by-product is diverted from landfill and contributes to a circular resource use and demonstrates responsible waste management.
As part of Hawthorn’s commitment to waste reduction and circular economy principles, wood shavings produced as a by-product of timber manufacturing are recycled through beneficial reuse as animal bedding, preventing landfill disposal.
James Stone – Managing Director of Hawthorn Timber, states :
“100% of wood shavings generated are diverted from landfill through reuse as animal bedding, supporting our zero-waste and circularity commitments.”
Hawthorn Timber recycle 20,000 bags / month of wood shavings for use in animal bedding. That’s over 5200 tonnes per annum diverted from landfill – equivalent to 200 lorries! See Our Sustainability Commitment Here
