Abstract
References

The percentage of waste when taking advantage of a tropical rain was determined in a forest in Medio San Juan, Choco, Colombia. To estimate the percentage of wood waste during the various stages of the process, 107 trees from different species were used. The difference of tree volume was determined as follows: Total volume of trees 410.67m3 (100%), commercialized trees 247,37m3, chunks 120,09m3, blocks 55,81m3, and processed trees (boards, beams, strips, planks, and wall plates) 35,58m3.

During the above processes, 30.76% of the total volume with respect to the commercial volume is wasted; 70.76% of the total volume with respect to chunks; 86..41% with respect to blocks; and 91.44% with respect to the processed. Among the causes of wood waste, one can consider: termite attacks, wood disease, poor training of the chainsaw crew. This article will give alternatives to reduce waste by identifying and measuring it during the various production stages.
