Wood waste is abundantly available and can be reused and recycled for various purposes. The term 'wood waste' represents wood and wood-based products that have reached the end of their typical useful life. One of the ways that wood waste is recycled is the creation of mulch. This review will look at how a mulch company can recycle wood waste.
According to the narrator in the video, the first step of turning wood waste into mulch is sorting.
For instance, branches are placed on one side and logs on the other. Logs are also sorted based on the species of the tree they come from. Why are logs sorted? Because dark logs produce dark mulch while light logs produce light-colored mulch.
After sorting, the next step for the wood waste is grinding. In this step, everything is ground, from small logs to larger ones.
After grinding, the next step for the wood waste is sorting. The wood waste is sorted in a screening machine, but this time to remove dirt, leaves, and any other unwanted particles. This dirt and debris can be reused in compost piles later on.
The crushed wood waste is then placed onto a pile awaiting the coloring process. Some of the pigments used to color mulch include brown, gold, and red.
