Materials obtained and used by individuals. With respect to wood products, larger consumer goods include wood-based materials obtained at retail centers and outlets, and furniture and fixtures, such as butcher block countertops, while smaller products include toys, baseball bats, pencils, and other small wooden objects.
Most consumer goods are excellent candidates for as-is reuse, with many salvage and secondhand stores specializing in their resale. Items that have been damaged can be upcycled into a new item (such as a shortened door used as a coffee tabletop). For those items with significant damage, the recycling and waste to energy options are dependent on how the item is assembled, and whether the constituent parts can be separated. If the wood can be isolated from other materials it can be recycled through chipping or other processes. Compound materials (such as upholstered furniture) may be eligible for waste to energy depending on the policies of each individual plant.
