Abstract. Ruslim Y, Sari DR, Kristiningrum R, Purwanti E, Malik FB. 2026. Optimization of wood waste from logging concession for local communities in tropical forest in Indonesia. Asian J For 10 (1): r100106. https://doi.org/10.13057/asianjfor/r100106. Timber harvesting in selective logging in tropical forest often produces significant amount of wood wastes which arises due to technical errors in the field and inappropriate planning. Instead of being left in the forest, harvesting waste might be utilized by local community, but this optimization might need information on the classification and potential use of wood waste. This study aims to determine the amount of timber harvesting waste generated by logging concession and identify the potential utilization of wood waste for the surrounding community for subsistence and small scale commercial needs. The study was conducted at a logging concession in Berau District, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, with wood wastes were collected at six felling plots totalling six ha and two log landing areas (TPn). The most prevalent waste type in the felling plots was tree stump with a volume of 24.58 m3, followed by tree tip, base, buttress stump waste, broken stems, and wood knots with 22.44 m3, 21.63 m3, 4.18 m3, 3.5 m3, and 0.48 m3, respectively. The wood waste found at the landing site (TPn) was predominantly red meranti, with volume of 22.69 m3. The results of interviews to local communities indicated logging waste can be utilized for a range of applications, including the production of building materials, handicrafts, furniture, bioenergy, boats, household appliances, and traditional furniture. A study on the efficiency of wood waste from logging concessions and the legal framework surrounding its utilization is necessary to ensure that the use of wood waste by local communities remains both effective and compliant with legal regulations.
