efforts that reflect our commitment towards mitigating climate change and deforestation ”



Waste Wood Recycling Centre

NEA license waste wood collection

centre and waste wood recycling.

General waste collector (GWC) disposal

of industrial waste

Horticulture waste often disposal from

landscape industries

Disposal horticulture & waste wood are

segregated for their quality grading

The lower grade horticulture & wood

waste will be used for biomass purpose

Before waste woods are crushed into

wood chips, screening for foreign object

like metal bar, pipes, plastic bags, solid

iron rod, string wrap etc

Waste Wood Recycling Centre Horticulture & waste wood are crushed into

wood chips for biomass and products purposed

At LHT, more than 16 tons of wood chips per

day are delivered to our 4.5 mega watt

cogeneration as biomass which converted into

renewable energy for its recycling plant.

The recycling plant uses these energy for

dryer, high steam and high pressure press

process for the manufacturing of compressed

engineered wood or better known as Technical

Wood /”New Wood”

Wood Chipper Machine

Wood Chip Filling Bin



Cogeneration To Renewal Energy

Cogeneration 4.5 Mega Watt

Manufacturing wood wastes like saw dusts, wood flakes, and wood chips are deliver to cogeneration silo as biomass converting to renewal energy for Recycling Plant production process of “Technical Wood”. An engineered compressed wood that substitute of wood.

Wood Chips

Cogen Silo

About 16 tons of wood chips per day (24 hour)

were consumed as biomass for cogeneration to renewal energy Recycling Plant

Zero Waste Management



Summary • The implementation of energy efficiency project of LHT

4.5 Mega Watt cogeneration collaborated with Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) was to determine on the energy saving using its own waste wood as biomass.

• The result proved greater saving and lower carbon footprint (CFP) comparable to using electricity.

• Due to short distance from recycling depot and biomass cogeneration plant, low /no carbon emission in transportation for relative short distance.

• The cogeneration also helps LHT to achieved “Zero Manufacturing Waste”.

• The renewal energy supply to LHT recycling plant produce “Technical Wood”(TW) which were made from waste wood materials.

• The TW were used for manufacturing of our innovative green pallets which are exempted from heat-treatment and fumigation and compliance to ISPM 15.
