The 899 forest product companies in the Tennessee Valley produced 3.4 million tons of industrial wood residues in 1975. This residue is bark, sawdust, shavings, small pieces of wood, such as end trimmings, and slabs and edgings in their original form or in the form of chips. About 70 percent of this material is marketed in some form. The remaining 30 percent must be disposed of in some manner-usually by burning or dumping. It amounts to 1.0 million tons and offers opportunities for expanding present plants or for constructing new ones, and it is of interest to several diverse groups, among them the fiber industry and industries looking for an inexpensive source of energy.
