Reclaimed Wood Floors Use Something Previously Left To Waste

As much as 50% of reclaimed wood might go to waste in the production of high quality reclaimed wood products. Half is a lot, to be sure, but as technology and demand increases, this number should improve. Also consider that half of something is a lot more than nothing at all. What if someone came up with a device that could turn half of a city's garbage into a profit generating product that was considered superior to its competition simply because it was made of garbage? Suddenly half doesn't seem like so little. Not too long ago, this wood would've simply rotted in landfills or at the bottoms of rivers and lakes. The stuff was literally laying around, waiting to be picked up and made into something useful.
