Has wood protocol row got in the way of renewable energy agenda?

摘要

Quality Protocols (QPs) are seen as an effective way of deregulating the waste management industry by reducing the need for materials to follow the often complex and restricting world of waste. But it seems the draft wood QP, which is now out for consultation, is causing more complexities within the wood recycling industry rather than uniting it. This is because the draft QP covers wood grades for use in landscape and panelboard applications, but biomass and wood for animal bedding have both been excluded.
