Since starting a program for making lamellas for the engineered flooring industry in 2014, Danzer (Darlington, Pa.), a sliced wood producer, has saved more than 1,000 truckloads of logs from becoming saw dust, according to the company’s 2016 Sustainability Report.
Danzer’s slicing process creates no sawdust compared with the traditional sawing alternative, the company said in the report, titled “Doing Our Part.”
The company saved 600 truckloads of logs from being turned into sawdust in 2016 alone. That’s up from 410 truckloads in 2015 and 240 truckloads in 2014, the report said.
“’Doing Our Part’ means that Danzer is personally committed to operate business in a way that is responsible for the resources we share with the communities we operate in (i.e. people, air, water, earth),” said CEO Hans-Joachim Danzer in a statement. “I firmly believe that as more companies adopt public reporting about their community impacts, this transparency will lead to better informed regulation of business.”
