Wealth from Waste: Recycling Sawdust

 

Sawdust (or wood dust) is a #byproduct or #waste product of wood (a natural organic material) operations like sawing, sanding, milling and routing.

It is a potential #health problem leading to #respiratory problems and #cancer (which is why poultry #farmers are advised not use it in the #poultry house).

Disposal by open burning causes #harmful air pollutants, contributing to #ozone #pollution and #climate change pollution, to be released.

There are so many ways this waste can be #recycled, #reduced or #reused:

1. Used as mulch for #plants

2. In #compost pile as it is a great source of #carbon

3. Used to treat inorganic metal impurities in waste water

4. As #renewable #fuel/ #energy when burnt in an updraft gasifier and

5. Used for #organic #mushroom production, giving us #nutritious mushroom for #healthy #delicious meals.
