EnviroWaste, part of the EnviroNZ group, has introduced specialised piece of heavy machinery at the waste processing facility in Auckland. ‘The Beast’ is a machine that turns timber waste into wood chip that can be used for biofuel.
The machine is fed truckloads of treated scrap wood and turns it into wood chips, which are then sent to a cement company who use it as biofuel. The machine can chip up to 40 tonnes an hour.
But by using this machine, the wood processing facility will be able to first strip treated wood of all metals like nails and screws before it’s shredded and then sent to a cement company for use as biofuel so it has a second life powering industry.
New Zealand has a big wood waste problem with timber making up 12.5 per cent of all waste going to landfill.
