Recircularity: a project to create new products from wood dust
Read the featured articleThis project is part of Garnica’s strategy to move toward a circular economy to increase reuse of materials and avoid waste.
Garnica has launched an innovative initiative in its industrial plants: Recircularity is a project to develop new products using the dust from wood sanding during the panel production process.
Two fundamental objectives for Garnica are circularity of processes and minimization of waste. We are committed to a “lean” production model based on sustainability and continuous improvement, leveraging the full range of available resources by integrating by-products into our processes, or providing them for use in other industries.
In line with this strategy, the company’s R&D&I department is evaluating reusing dust from wood sanding to produce new materials both in the wood industry and other industrial sectors such as recycled plastic material production and the agri-food industry.
Recircularity is being developed jointly with CDTI and three research and development companies who are leaders in this type of project: Eco3G Consultores, AITEX, and Tecnalia.
This project is part of our ESG commitment to develop a circular economy-based strategy, increasing the use of recyclable materials, avoiding waste, and reducing our carbon footprint.
