WOOD RECYCLING


About the Wood Recyclers’ Association (WRA)


THE WRA is the UK’s industry trade body for reprocessors, panel board and biomass companies working in the waste wood sector. They have 111 members and represent over 90% of the waste wood industry.


They act on behalf of their members to provide a voice for the sector at the highest levels, working closely with the Environment Agency, DEFRA and other trade associations and recycling bodies to influence and advise on issues affecting our industry, including legislation.


Their members include wood recyclers and reprocessors, panel board mills, renewable energy suppliers, technology manufacturers, consultancies and specialist insurance and health & safety companies. They also enjoy links with their German equivalent BAV and the UK-based Resource Association and The Recycling Association, as well as FEDEREC (France) and the Swedish Wood Fuel Association.


The WRA was formed in 2001 by a small group of wood recyclers who wanted to raise standards in the industry and ensure its needs continued to be recognised and met by those in power.


Their main aims are to: • influence environmental legislation; • promote the sector to policy makers; • assist members to understand and respond to changing market conditions, legislation and regulation; • provide a platform for members to share non-competitive information; and • raise industry standards.
