sawdust

Sawdust consists of tiny particles of wood created when wood is cut, sanded, or drilled. It is a fine, powdery material that varies in size and shape depending on the cutting process. Sawdust is commonly produced in woodworking shops, lumber mills, and by furniture manufacturing. It can be used for various purposes, such as mulch, animal bedding, or fuel, and also has environmental and health considerations due to its dustiness. Proper handling and disposal are important to prevent respiratory issues and manage waste efficiently.
