USE OF WOOD INDUSTRY WASTE AS A WOOD PRESERVER OF NATIVE AMAZON SPECIES.

Due to the extensive areas with native forests, Brazil is a country that stands out in timber production, thus generating income and employment. However, transforming forest into wood requires a series of processes that range from exploration and transport to industrial processing and distribution. In the processing phase, the wood industries face some problems, in which the difficulty of storing logs received from the forest and the generation of waste and its reuse or recycling stand out. However, most entrepreneurs know a technique popularly called "log burial" which consists of burying the logs under sawdust (wood waste), storing and preserving them for a long period, however the use of the technique is not allowed by Organs competent bodies. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to scientifically verify the efficiency of the "log burial" technique and for this the work was divided into three chapters, as follows: Chapter I - Stakeholder analysis of the timber forest sector in northwestern Mato Grosso: an insight into industrial solid waste; Chapter II – Use of industrial sawmill waste as a preservative for native wood logs from the Amazon forest; Chapter III – Characterization of the environment provided by the sawdust: Microclimate and soil.
