Why Recycle Wood Shavings?

Wood shavings are one type of wood wastes or by-products generated in wood shops. But rather than treat them as a waste, there are a lot of useful ways to reuse or recycle the wood shavings owing to the good properties of the material itself.

Take one example, wood shavings are the ideal material for animal bedding because they have a high absorbency which create a hygienic environment for animals as urine and smells will not become a problem; and they are soft and comfort for animals to rest; also, they are easy to clean up when they are dirty.

However, wood shavings are light, loose, and fluffy which is difficult for storage and transportation. Therefore, they are usually sold in bales in the market.

Purchase compressed and wrapped wood shaving bales are affordable and more cost-effective for customers because the compressed down baled wood shavings are 4 times smaller than their original size which creates more space for you to store more shavings. They are much easier to handle, stack, and also getting protected from mould.
