Wood pellets are made from 100% wood, typically the residue (sawdust and woodchips) from milling wood. When a wood mill processes a typical tree around 60% of that tree becomes planks or fencing posts, and the remaining 40% of the tree is residue. This sawdust mix is then dried to below 10% moisture content, before being forced through a press to make the pellets. The natural binding agent in the wood called lignin, holds the pellet together and gives the nice shiny surface.
Yes, all EN Plus A1 wood pellets are made from virgin wood which has come from FSC certified sustainably grown forestry. In addition, all EN Plus wood pellets in the UK must be registered by the Government backed Biomass Suppliers List (BSL). This tracks the wood pellet from production to distribution to ensure proper traceability.
