Value Added Products

"Value-added" is a term globally used to describe materials that
have been remanufactured from rough lumber or logs, into a higher grade of finished product.

Two types of remanufactured products are generally recognized:
1) semi-finished and finished products
2) remanufactured lumber

1)Semi-finished and finished products are manufactured from
commodity wood products and may include:
•engineered wood products
(laminated beams, trusses, wood I-beams, etc.)
• millwork (doors, windows, architectural woodwork, turnings, etc.)
•cabinets (kitchen & vanity cabinets, cabinet doors, countertops, etc.)
•furniture (household furniture, ready-to-assemble furniture,
•commercial and institutional furniture, patio furniture, etc.)
•pallets and containers, and
• other wood products (chopsticks, ladders, toys, etc.)

2) Remanufactured lumber products include all lumber or wood product outputs from a remanufacturing process performed on sawn lumber input stock. The remanufactured process includes subjecting lumber input stock to one or more of the following processes including: change in thickness, width, length, profile, or joining together by finger joint or otherwise.
