Wood Processing Waste Valorization in a Commercial Pinus patula Plantation in Colombia: A Risk Assessment Approach Universidad Militar, Colombia The present project was developed to propose alternatives for the utilization of waste generated during the wood transformation process in a commercial Pinus patula forest plantation located in Boyacá, Colombia. These residues, traditionally stored without a defined use, present significant potential for valorization. To this end, engineering tools and quantification methods were applied, making it possible to determine that, out of more than 16,000 tons of annual waste, 60% of the offcuts and 85% of the sawdust and wood shavings can be reused. Among the proposed strategies, the production of wooden slats and the direct commercialization of by-products stand out, both of which demonstrate economic viability with estimated annual revenues of COP $248,500,000, in addition to contributing to the reduction of environmental impact and the strengthening of sustainable practices within the Colombian forestry sector. | |
