Made from recycled sawdust waste otherwise destined for landfill. No trees are cut down specifically to make pellets. The waste sawdust & shavings are taken to a pellet mill where they are dried, compressed, and formed into small pellet sized bits. Resins and binders (lignin) occurring naturally in the sawdust hold wood pellets together, so they usually contain no additives. Premium wood pellets are a natural golden woody colour, clean, pleasant smelling and smooth to touch.
