from a court case on disposal of wood waste. Basically, I need help with the whole sentence - I know what the words mean but have no idea whether there is any "technical" translation:
(e.g. is Massivholz really "solid wood", and is there any elegant term for Althölzern?)
Der Abfall betsteht aus behandelten Althölzern aus Abbruch, rohem und gestrichenem Massivholz,Möbelholz sowie Schreinereiabfällen
Thank you

"In June 1998, KPPC formed the Kentucky Wood Waste Alliance (KWWA) to find economically feasible and environmentally sound answers to the Commonwealth's wood waste problems. KWWA consisted of 14 organizations and agencies. After conducting six wood waste workshops, it has become apparent to KPPC that generators, buyers and users of wood waste are still very interested in working together and making exchanges. With this in mind, KPPC feels KWWA needs a transformation to accommodate those interested in pursuing resources and solutions."

(Above and following quotes from http://www.kppc.org/kwwrs/):
\"Wood waste includes wood manufacturing waste, scrap pallets, construction and demolition wood. Small amounts are converted into boiler fuel, mulch or recycled into other products. But most wood waste remains unused, winding up in landfills or burned in open pits.\"
