Waste Timber Recycling in Melbourne — Turning a Problem Into a Product
Melbourne generates enormous volumes of waste timber every year. Pallets, offcuts, demolition timber, and manufacturing waste all end up either in landfill or burned inefficiently on-site. Ignis was built to change that — converting Victorian waste timber into high-value products: wood pellets, biochar, biomass briquettes, hardwood charcoal, and decorative garden mulch.
The Problem With Waste Timber
Timber that ends up in landfill doesn't just disappear. As it breaks down anaerobically, it releases methane — a greenhouse gas far more potent than CO2 in the short term. Burning it openly is equally wasteful, releasing carbon without capturing any energy value.
The smarter option is controlled conversion — using heat and mechanical processing to turn waste timber into products that displace fossil fuels, improve soil, and keep carbon out of the atmosphere.
