Is there a market for oak wood chip from machine shop.

Hes got 6 artic loads a year! Thats going to be about 100 to 150 tons a year... quite a lot of bags.

 

Try stobart biomas. They will pay between 3 and 10 quid a ton for wet woodchip.

 

Ah, that's all in the marketing. The 150 tons is only six truck loads and this isn't really a big volume in the scheme of things.

Yes, I know you can sell your sh*t chips using Stobarts. I'm looking at the 'added value' side and that's where the market gets a little more challenging and requires a little more skill.

A friend sells 1000+ tons of hay to the race horse industry each year and he's looking at the added value in 2kg pet bags of hay which will yield twice more per bag than the X8 ordinary small bales he gets from a 500Kg Hesston bale.

 

There's a market for smoking similar to the home pizza oven sales. Another growing industry. You just need to convince the market that your quality oak shavings are just what they need.
