Biomass and wood chips – a second life for production waste
Sustainability in industry is more than slogans. At Świat Drewna we have implemented a Zero Waste model in which we process 100% of our raw material. Here is how our Pellet Legno brand came about.
Up to 40% of a log by volume becomes “waste”—bark, offcuts, sawdust. For us that is not waste but a valuable energy feedstock. Investment in a modern machine park in Piekoszów let us close the production loop and become a supplier of green energy for the region.
How we created Pellet Legno
The idea for our own pellet production came from a drive for excellence. We saw that the sawdust from manufacturing our flagship product—laminated timber—has unique properties.
The secret is in the feedstock
Most pellets on the market are made from wet sawmill sawdust that must be dried, which consumes energy. Our Pellet Legno is made from post-processing sawdust—chips from wood that has already been kiln-dried to the right moisture content.
That is how we achieved a premium product:
- Clean pine: The sawdust comes from debarked wood, so the pellet contains no bark (which can cause clinker in boilers).
- High calorific value: Dry wood means more energy in every gram of fuel.
- Natural binder: We press the granulate under high pressure using natural lignin, with no chemical binders.
Biomass for power and heat
Alongside pellets for households, we are a strategic partner for professional power generation and district heating. We produce energy-grade wood chips from wood fragments that cannot be used as structural sawn timber.
Our biomass replaces coal in local boiler houses, helping cut smog and CO₂ emissions in the Świętokrzyskie region.
