results
showed
that
the
products
made
of
waste
wood
have
smaller
effect
on
the
environment
than
the
products
made
from
raw
materials.
Table
1
shows
results
of
LCA
analysis
of
particleboard
and
pellets
produced
from
raw
material
and
from
waste
wood.
For
both,
particleboard
and
pellets,
the
environmental
impacts
were
considerably
lower
in
case
of
products
made
of
waste
wood.
The
major
contribution
to
decreased
environmental
impacts
was
reduced
energy
use
for
drying
the
material
in
the
production
of
the
products
and
shorter
transportation
distances
of
the
input
material
to
the
manufacturing
facilities,
when
the
waste
wood
from
Port
of
Koper
is
used
to
produce
particleboards
and
pellets.
