Recycling timber is the process of turning waste timber into usable products. Recycling timber is a practice that was popularized in the early 1990s as issues such as deforestation and climate change, prompted both timber suppliers and consumers to turn to a more sustainable timber source. Recycling timber has become popular due to its image as an environmentally friendly product. Consumers commonly believe that by purchasing recycled wood, the demand for green timber will fall and ultimately benefit the environment. Recycled timber is now used as a construction product. It has been important in both raising industry and consumer awareness towards deforestation and promoting timber mills to adopt more environmentally friendly practices. Wood recycling is a subject which has in recent years taken an even greater role in our lives. The problem, however, is that although many local authorities like the idea of recycling, they do not fully support it.
