Beetle-killed trees are of no value to sawmills.

“Beetle-killed trees are of no value to sawmills.“

While it sucks to run beetle infested board foot it is not unusable. Its dry and brittle and a pain to process.

But even assuming all was unusable for board foot, it is still valuable to a sawmill as chips. Chipping is waste wood to energy, you use them to feed the co-gen plant which provides power to the sawmill as well as excess to the grid in some cases.

Even toilet paper manufacturers can’t use this wood? How about the companies that make particle board and MDF?
