An Assessment of Wood and wood-Waste Utilization in Nigeria
Keywords:
Assessment, wood, wood-waste, utilization
Abstract
Wood is one of the produce of the forest that has been identified as raw material for a number of industries. Having realised the importance of wood among other competitors in the life-style of human beings, all wood either soft or hard in form of planks or residue must be utilized in the best way we could. The findings involved a group of selected wood-based companies and manufacturing industries in Ondo, Oyo, Lagos and Delta State of Nigeria. Questionnaires were constructed and personally administered. The result showed that both soft and hardwood species are very important in the daily life of all human beings, it also showed that wood is still preferred for some applications when compared with other competitors such as plastics, metal and concrete because of its inherent natural properties.
