reDirect wood waste and create new wood products

Australian Panels and recycler reDirect will join forces to recover clean wood waste. reDirect Recycling will develop and operate integrated resource recovery centres to recover clean wood waste that can be used in advanced manufacturing techniques. A focus of Australian Panel Products is to create high value manufactured products from materials sourced from urban waste streams. Source: Timberbiz

reDirect’s role is to manage the sourcing and processing of waste and resource streams for the remanufacture of products back into a circular economy and it is already gaining momentum to not only reduce waste costs for fabricators but to reduce the environmental impact of businesses in this sector by facilitating timber recycling.

With some landfill fee’s costing more than $200 per tonne, there is potential save fabricators thousands of dollars each year in costs of removing waste.

reDirect Recycling conducts collection and processing of dual source products to create a sustainable product life cycle in the construction and manufacturing industry, closing the loop on raw and engineered wood products.

With three collection sites in NSW, reDirect Recycling is supporting the NSW market, with plans well underway to roll out the program to Victoria and Queensland soon.

The ability to take various forms of timber waste from framing off cuts (H2 and LOSP H3), LVL and Glulam offcuts to timber pallets and crates makes this a good solution for fabricators to reduce their waste costs and their own carbon footprint.

Strict quality control procedures are in place to ensure the process follows environmental guidelines set by the EPA.

By opting for wood collection through reDirect Recycling customers are assisting in creating sustainable manufacturing practices.
