"[Blank] Company and subsidiary companies manufacture plumbing faucets, plumbing fixtures, fine furniture, cabinetry, tile and stone, engines, and generators. These operations generate wood waste from either manufacturing or shipping. The annual disposal of Kohler wood waste accounts for [blank] tons of pallets, [blank] tons of scrap wood, and [blank] tons of sawdust. The majority of this waste material is currently landfilled at an annual cost of $[blank] at an average of [blank] per ton." The objectives of this project were to reduce wood waste disposal costs, reduce the volume of landfilled wood waste through recycling, develop a wood waste recycling analysis tool for decision makers, and use the analysis tool to determine the best disposal option at three Kohler facilities with wood wastes of scrap wood, sawdust, and pallets. Kohler Main Campus (Kohler, Wisconsin) was analyzed for scrap wood disposal, Baker Furniture – Mocksville (Mocksville, North Carolina) was analyzed for sawdust disposal, and Spartanburg (Spartanburg, South Carolina) was analyzed for pallet disposal. Each disposal alternative was compared to the current option of landfilling the material. The best alternative for managing wood waste at Kohler were selected using a matrix that was developed based on particle size, risks (including treated wood or contamination), costs and marketability. The alternatives chosen for Spartanburg pallets was to repair and re turn pallets, for Kohler Main Campus scrap wood was to produce landscape mulch, and for Baker-Mocksville sawdust was used as a boiler fuel.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .M7 2001 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
