Bluepine cutoffs

TDA is working in conjunction with Forest and Wood Products Australia to find out if there are any systematic issues with disposing of and recycling H2F treated softwood ("bluepine") framing. Anecdotal information suggests that some frame and truss manufacturers are having difficulties disposing of and recycling H2F treated offcuts and sawdust.

TDA has written an online survey to quantify the extent to which this problem exists—if it exists at all. The survey will also reveal whether problems vary either between regions or according to size of manufacturer.

The survey has been sent to over 300 frame and truss manufacturers. Once the results are in, we'll aggregate the data and make our recommendations.

TDA's Stephen Mitchell is running the H2F waste disposal and recycling project. He is aided by timber suppliers and the Frame and Truss Manufacturers Association of Australia. Forest and Wood Products Australia is funding the project.

Please take a moment to fill out the survey if you're a frame and truss manufacturer who works with Bluepine. We would be grateful also if you would forward the survey on to others.
