Engineered Timber Recycling
In previous years, Kimbriki received large amounts of Engineered Timber waste at the Mixed Waste drop off, 100% of which was ending up on landfill prior to the Engineered Timber scheme.
Since September 2022, reDirect Recycling and Kimbiriki have been working in partnership to solve the problem of clean and Engineered Timber ending up in landfill. Both companies set out to take this type of wood waste that until recently, could not be utilised, and through clever planning and processing, recycle it into new particleboard substrate.
The outcome has seen not only a huge reduction in carbon emissions but over 2000 tonnes of wood waste saved from landfill throughout this period with the support of numerous trades, businesses, and the general public.
Over this time, we have seen customers sorting out their frame and truss off cuts, pallets and engineered timbers and tipping them separately at the Kimbriki facility for a reduced price compared to the normal mixed waste fee. This aligns with Kimbriki’s philosophy of Sort and Save, giving the customer the opportunity to save money as well as lowering their company’s impact on the environment. reDirect Recycling then refines the waste streams and re-manufactures them back into particleboard for reuse, a fully sustainable end use for a valuable product rather than allowing it to become landfilling waste.
