John Deere makes a decent slash collector/bundler for reuse. There is a biofuel facility up in main that burns the slugs.

I co-own a shutter making shop and the amount of sawdust we have to get rid of is incredible. If there was an economical way to utilize it for fuel conversion, thousands of tons of sawdust could be collected from woodshops every week.

IIRC - Years ago, American Timber, In Olney, MT, started by collecting the scrap that was left from logging operations. They could take the smaller trees and get 2x4s out of them. Most bigger operations, Plum Creek found that it was not cost effective.
