Wood Chips / Sawmill Residues (Firewood)
Product Description
MA Associates supplies wood chips and sawmill residues for use as firewood and biomass fuel in industrial, commercial, and domestic heating applications. Sawmill residues are the by-products of timber cutting and processing, such as slabs, offcuts, edgings, bark, and sawdust, which can be chipped or cut into pieces suitable for burning.
These materials are a renewable, economical fuel for boilers, brick kilns, furnaces, dryers, and similar equipment. We can supply chipped wood, slabs and offcuts, and cut or split firewood pieces, in air-dried or green condition, depending on the buyer’s requirements and availability.
At MA Associates, we aim to supply wood chips and sawmill residues according to buyers’ specifications, with grade, size, moisture level, quantities, and delivery arrangements discussed according to the intended use.
