Eventhough  the poteify waste into wood savinncy of timber and thenumber of active moulding industries are deccreasinq  racently, the demand  of moulding products  is still  hight.  Actually  the waste  of moulding  can be utillized  for  fuel but  the  waste  must be  treatedpreviosly. The treatment is to classify weste into wood saving, woodplaning and sawdust. Tile size wood saving and wood planing ware reduced by using a hemmer mill, after that the wastes were screened.wilile  the sawdust was screened directly.  Them. all screened wood were combined  wiht the screened  wood from timber  estate. All of these materials were mixed together with cassava glue. Pellet is an alternative source of fuel. The quality of produced pellet is 0.49- 0.80 gr/cm3 for density parameter. 2.40 - 9.64%  for moisture content, and0.15   -    1.08%   for   ash   content.  These   properties   meet   the requirements   of  national   and   international    market.   How ever; parameter  of gross caloric value of pellet.  which  was 4042 -  4380 cal/g. did not meet the requirements.
