Selling Sawdust

Ever heard of the business phrase "selling sawdust"? It's a marketing concept drawn from a very traditional business, sawmills. A by-product of milling timber is of course sawdust. Sawdust is a product in itself but sawdust is not made to sell, it’s just created as part of the process of making a different product.

The sawdust is not wasted though, it’s sold and used for many things including gardening, smoking meat, animal bedding, oil spill cleanup, packaging and even crafts and DIY projects. All this to say it, doesn’t go to waste and can add to the sawmills bottom line.
