Abstract

One of the most effort possible to secure raw materials national wood processing industry is to increase the value added in forest management activities. Wood waste is measured and observed in logging plots and in landing. Wood waste in the conventional logging and RIL plots was 16.33 m3/ha 11.06 m3/ha, respectively. Based on the type of commersial species in conventional logging plots is dominated by commersial dipterocarps species (15.48 m3/ha). Wood waste in reduced impact logging (RIL) plot is dominated by commercial dipterocarp species (9.78 m3/ha).

This resarch indicated that RIL techniques increased timber utilization (9.47%). Value of wood utilization using a proportion of the volume that can be used from a number of potential volume of tree per hectare.
