Canadian association to host wood recycling seminar

The Victoria, British Columbia-based Coast Waste Management Association (CWMA) is hosting an online program Feb. 29 titled “Leaping into Actions to Reuse & Recycle Construction Wood Waste.”

The webinar takes place from 1-2:30 p.m. PST and is billed by CWMA as a forum to consider what solutions already exist, what may be coming soon and inspire a conversation on how to make reuse of construction wood waste more popular and practical.

Panelists and presenters include a representative from Toronto-based Dillon Consulting, who will start the program off by presenting research on Canada’s C&D material flow, with a focus on waste wood.

A representative from Vancouver-based Urbanjacks, a company that gathers scrap wood “from the urban forest of construction sites and movie sets and turn[s] it back into new lumber," also will present, as well as a company that uses wood off-cuts in its work and researchers from the University of British Columbia looking at other potential end markets.

CWMA says it also is working on recruiting an additional speaker and will offers insights touching on “other great ideas locally and across the world.”
