Waste are a big problem in the economci and not only affecting environment quality. For this reason, it is compulsory to find solutions to reconvert these waste to avoid pollution. This paper presents the management and utilization of waste from the 11 wood industry factories in the city of Reghin, Mureș county, Romania and also a few case studies in agriculture where solutions were found to increase production and maintain environment quality. Wood waste is a category that can be used to obtain energy by burning or composting sawdust that can be used as fuel, sawdust that can be used for wood boilers, for pal panels or for paper pulp, or in animal husbandry as litter for animals. The purpose of the study was the study of waste management within these companies, where we found that a simple production results in several categories of waste such as: glass, plastic, paper, chemicals, oils, glues, paints, combustion ash, slag and the largest amount of wood waste. To increase production and reduce manufacturing costs, we recommend reintroducing this wood waste back into the production cycle, harnessing it in the form of thermal energy.
