Proposal for the utilization of locally harvested wood chips from environmental projects as paving materials.

We will crush the felled wood into chips and use it as paving material for the exterior structures of buildings.

Tanaka Building Materials Co., Ltd. proposes to effectively utilize harvested wood as paving materials for the exterior structures of buildings, including park paths, sidewalks, and some parking areas. Thinned wood from large parks and street trees, as well as demolition waste wood from buildings, will be crushed on-site or at the Tanaka Building Materials Recycling Plant, processed into chips, and commercialized as paving materials. This will be used for the maintenance of paths within the park at the logging site, contributing to green recycling initiatives. It is also possible to use it as part of the exterior structures of buildings, including some parking areas. 【Effects】 ○ Fixing CO2, which causes global warming, in the paths when burned Preventing the emission of 6.5 tons of CO2 with 1,000 m² of paving (paving thickness of 3 cm) 6.5 tons of CO2: Volume approximately 3,300 m³ (a cube with a side of 15 m) ○ Waste disposal costs for harvested wood can be utilized for environmental maintenance costs ○ Crushed mulching is difficult to manage as it simply flows out into the surroundings ○ The thermal insulation properties of the paving material help suppress the urban heat island phenomenon, especially in urban areas For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
