If all the recent buzz about sustainable practices and environmentally friendly products has you itching to get a piece of the green action, may we direct your attention to a for sale posting for a wood recycling company.

The family-owned company is part of the U.S.’s estimated $35 billion green manufacturing industry.

Asking price: $1.3 million.

The company sells poultry and livestock bedding, horticulture mulches, wood flour, fiber bulk, boiler fuel and wood talc.

Oak fiber and sawdust are the company’s top selling products.

The owners estimate they have netted about $2.5 million in revenue over the last 35 years and project revenues to increase about $800,000 per year over the next five years. The company is listed through Sunbelt Business Advisors.

We know recycling may not be the most glamorous green industry but it sure beat some of the alternatives: composting and manure collection.
