At A.W. Jenkinson, we believe in making the most of every part of the tree. From the moment a tree is planted, through sustainable forest management, harvesting, and processing, to the creation of wood by-products such as shavings and sawdust, every step in the process is designed to maximise efficiency and minimise waste. This approach forms our Cycle of Wood—a circular system designed to maximise resources and minimise waste.

A.W. Jenkinson Woodwaste plays a crucial role in completing this cycle by handling end-of-life wood—materials that have reached the end of their primary use but still hold value. Rather than being sent to landfill, this wood waste is collected, processed, and repurposed into new, sustainable products.

Our recycling facilities transform wood waste into valuable resources such as:

• Mulch – supporting soil health and landscaping
• Biomass fuel – a low-carbon energy source
• Panel board feedstock – supporting the UK manufacturing industry

Through this process, A.W. Jenkinson Woodwaste ensures wood can be reused in multiple forms, reinforcing the principles of the circular economy while directly contributing to A.W. Jenkinson’s wider sustainability mission. By keeping wood in circulation for as long as possible, we reduce landfill waste, lower carbon emissions, and promote responsible resource management.

From planting trees to harvesting, processing, repurposing and growing again, the Cycle of Wood is a model of sustainability in action. A.W. Jenkinson Woodwaste is proud to play its part in this continuous, eco-friendly loop.
