| Abstract | Millions of tons of agricultural, agro-industrial waste and forestry waste are generated annually as by-products of the forest industry. Due to ineffective utilization and increase in the amount of waste from agroforestry, the environment, including soil and water, is negatively affected. These wood residues, husks, shells, stumps and dry trees are considered as agroforestry waste due to their low market value; however, they can be used as a source of energy. In the case tthey are of no use, these materials are destroyed by burning in the open air, which leads not only to a waste of potential energy, but also to problems with emissions into the atmosphere. All this requires alternative management strategies. Reducing the amount of forest and wood waste can be achieved either by reducing the size of wood processing waste or by introducing an entrepreneurial method as a new algorithm for better use of wood waste. The entrepreneurial method fits into the economy of a closed cycle, effectively using waste resources to solve commercial and social problems, namely, for the public through opportunities for employment, sales of waste-based products, and reduction of waste incineration or disposal. The purpose of the study is to review international studies of the Australian forestry sector, which illustrate how, based on the application of the entrepreneurial method, it is possible to profitably use wood waste as raw materials or resources for the production of new products. To achieve this goal, a review-analytical method was used. When considering the entrepreneurial method, two examples have been analyzed in the work, in which it is shown that the entrepreneurial method depends on the suitability and accessibility of the entrepreneur's environment to ensure a successful and sustainable result, and also illustrated the similarities, differences and alternative approaches to waste management. Re-use of post-production or recycled materials is a modern trend applied in many industries, for example, in the production of chipboards, car tires and plastics. Current work includes a compilation of case studies from the Australian forestry sector on successful efforts to convert wood waste into other products. |
