In today’s society, people are increasingly aware of how individual actions can impact the environment and the importance of sustainability. As a result, many industries are seeking ways to reduce waste and optimize resources. 

The wood shavings industry is an excellent example of how innovative practices can turn potential waste into valuable products, improving environmental stewardship.

How Do We Transform Waste into Value?

Wood shavings are by-products of lumber and woodworking processes, often considered waste. However, At Klassen Wood Company, we transform these waste products into high-value goods that serve various purposes, ranging from animal bedding to garden mulch and sustainable packaging materials. Here’s how our process works:

1. Collection of Raw Materials

The first step is collecting bulk shavings from various mills using quality kiln-dried timber. This step is crucial in maintaining a reliable supply of clean and softwood shavings while minimizing waste and reducing environmental harm from wood processing operations.

2. Dust Screening

Each batch of our wood shavings are screened to precise standards to remove dust. The screening process ensures we fill every bale with the highest quality flakes!

3. Packaging and Distribution

After screening and sorting, the wood shavings are pelletized and placed in recyclable packaging. This weather-protective packaging allows you to store your wood shavings outdoors for up to two years. 

Our packaging process goes beyond preserving the quality of the shavings. It also aligns with our commitment to sustainability.
