Pulpwood Chip Productions and Markets in the Lake States

Abstract

As a major pulp and paper production area, the Lake States is a potential market for pulpwood chips. As a producer of solid wood products, it has a considerable potential for the production of pulpwood chips from coarse sawmill residues (slabs, edgings, and trim) and other sources. Only a small amount of the available residues, however, is now being utilized. In response to numerous inquiries about pulp chips and sawmill residues, a study was begun on their production and marketing as well as any problem aspects that might require additional research. This note is a preliminary report.
