Wood Waste Management and Products

This book examines the application of wood waste in various advancements in environmental fields, such as construction, renewable energy, bio-absorbent, and agricultural and wood-based material. Featuring illustrations, and tables summarizing the latest research, it gathers up-to-date information on the application of various types of wood waste which could be applied in a practical manner to materially reduce nuisance created by fallout of wood-based industries from different sources. Given its scope, the book is a valuable reference book for research students and reference resources for researchers, academics, and industrial scientists working in the field of wood waste management and their utilization.

Examines the application of wood waste in various advancements environmental fields Presents the concepts in advancements utilization of wood waste in an integrated and balance manner Gathers up-to-date information on the application of various types of wood waste
