Wood Waste: From Landfill to Lightbulbs
• Benefits of recycling wood waste– Helps the environment– Creates skilled jobs– Saves oil and gas– Extends the life of the
landfill– Valuable resources
are not wasted

• Ralmax recycles 16,000 tonnes of wood waste
• 14,000 tonnes used for fuel
• Partnership with CRD could grow to 20,000 tonnes or more annually

Case History: Wood waste fires up Kimberly Clark
• Wood waste is shipped to Kimberly Clark’s power plant in Everett, WA
• State-of-the-art 54-Megawatt generators power the mill and the community

Case History: Wood waste fires up Kimberly Clark
• Every barge delivers enough fuel to generate electricity for 120 homes
• Creates skilled jobs in Victoria
