Step 1 - Collection / Arrival

Wood waste arrives at our facility either via our own skip services or through direct delivery by businesses and trade partners.

Step 2 - Manual Sorting & Grading

We don’t rely on machines, our experienced sorters inspect and grade each item by hand, using deep knowledge of wood types and treatments built over years in the industry.

We sort the wood into two main grades:

Grade A - Untreated wood e.g. Clean pallets, bare timber, offcuts

Grade C - Treated or Coated Wood e.g. Painted pallets, MDF, fence panels, laminated flooring.

Step 3 - Forwarding for Recovery

Once sorted, the wood is sent to trusted partners for energy recovery:

Grade A wood is used in UK-based biomass facilities or power plants, where it is incinerated efficiently to produce heat and power.

Grade C wood is sent to specialist incineration plants that use advanced gasification technology and flue gas treatment to minimise emissions and capture harmful pollutants.

We do not shred, chip, or incinerate any wood on-site—our focus is on expert sorting and routing, ensuring the right materials end up in the right recovery streams.

This labour-intensive approach ensures a high level of material recovery and minimal contamination.

Step 4 - Why It Matters:

By turning waste into fuel, we help:

Reduce landfill dependency

Support UK energy production

Lower carbon emissions

Contribute to a circular economy

Every piece of wood we process plays a role in powering homes and businesses, and reducing the environmental impact of waste.
