Wood - The Renewable, Recyclable Resource
United States is a country with a vast forest resource, comprising about one-third of its total land area (or about 3 million square miles). As a result, wood is an important renewable resource and is widely used in many applications! including building construction, furniture, fuel wood, textile fabrics, organic chemicals, and paper manufacture. This wide usage generates a large volume of wood waste. Currently, nearly 63 million metric tons of this material is generated in the manufacture, use, and disposal of solid wood products each year. Full Circle Recycling is an industry leader in wood recycling processes, and the reuse of lumber salvaged from building removal, pallets and many other sources.
