Sawdust is a fine powder made from the remnants of wood after it has been cut, shaped, or sanded. It is produced during woodworking processes and can vary in texture and size depending on the type of wood and the method used. Commonly, sawdust is a byproduct of industries such as lumber mills and furniture manufacturing. Sawdust has various uses, including as a material for animal bedding, a component in particleboard, and as a natural mulch in gardening. Additionally, it can be used in the production of biomass fuel and as an ingredient in wood pellets for heating.
