Recycling contaminated wood dust and particles

Recycling contaminated wood dust and particles

Recycling contaminated wood dust and particles

(OP)
I have been approched by a firm who builds kitchen cabinets.  When cutting the wood they produce lots of dust and wood particles which are contaminated with ureformaldehyde.  Since it is so expensive to dispose of it they would like to recycle it themselves.  What can they do with it ??? New particle boards ?  or OSB ? Where can I find that kind of information ?

RE: Recycling contaminated wood dust and particles

Can the particles be burned? use them in a wood and coal fired boiler. If not call a couple of OSB makers and offer them the material.

RE: Recycling contaminated wood dust and particles

I would suggest fuels blending as an option.  Even if the material is Hazardous there are cement kilns across the country that can accept it for a reasonalbe fee.
