The slash and residues removed by Azwood are given another purpose.
Slash and wood residues removed by Azwood from forestry sites are repurposed into natural products. The residues are ground down several times and turned in a host of products Azwood offers like compost, wood fuel, landscaping bark, certified barks, natural media for odour control, and more.
Azwood aims to take 100% of the residues.
The Azwood team have the skills and experience to remove slash from forests with steep terrain. Being able to take 100% of the residues means nothing is left behind when it’s returned to the forest managers.
Clearing forest sites means forest managers can plant and regenerate the forest sustainably, allowing new vegetation to grow quickly leading to better overall forest health and a decrease in insect infestations and spread of tree diseases.
Residues left over can also end up as landfill waste. Azwood adds value to this waste and uses it to replenish the land or in the production of wood energy.
