Future of Sawmilling in Vanderhoof
Quote from vicecrufoli on October 17, 2024, 2:37 pmI have a question that I've been thinking about, and I thought it would be interesting for us to discuss it together. What do you all think about the future trends in the sawmilling industry? Specifically, what’s next for Vanderhoof? With the rapid changes in technology, sustainability practices, and market demands, I’m curious how local sawmills will adapt to these trends. Are there any specific innovations or changes that you’ve heard of?

Quote from womocratouzo on October 18, 2024, 9:28 amI recently started visiting a sawmill industry site, including Sawmills in Vanderhoof, BC. Here are some interesting trends for tomorrow. Major changes are taking place in the incorporation of new technologies such as automation techniques as well as artificial intelligence into business processes. This is important because many mills are noticing the rising cost of raw materials and are noting that purchasing equipment that is best suited for cutting processes and that minimizes guillotine waste is essential. Social and environmental responsibility is growing in popularity. Sawmills are keen to ensure that the wood is sustainable so as not to deplete a country's forest resources. This correlates well with the current market trend for sustainable products. Consumers today are more aware of the origin of materials and prefer to shop with eco-friendly companies. However, it is encouraging to see that as governments around the world are phasing out the use of fossil fuels and promoting renewable energy, some sawmills are exploring the use of by-products for bioenergy, thus achieving a circular economy. There is also potential for innovation, networking within the industry, and working together on best strategies and practices.

Quote from weswinnefred on October 24, 2024, 9:11 amI don’t have a lot of specific knowledge about sawmills, but I think any industry that can adapt to technological changes and sustainability will have a good chance of thriving. It’s great to hear that Vanderhoof is considering these factors. I wonder how the community is involved in these changes, and if there are any local events or discussions about the future of the sawmilling industry. It’ll be exciting to see how it all unfolds!
