Two major types of solid waste are generated during the processing
of boards in the manufacture of furniture: sawdust and
small pieces of boards. Half of the enterprises investigated in this
study utilised a system to collect dust. However, businesses usually
do not do so diligently. The most important reason for this is the
lack of available space and tools for collection (Fig. 2). Casares
et al. (2005) reported that specific technologies are required to collect
bulky wastes such as paper, cardboard, plastic, and wood.
