RECYCLAGE, REUSINAGE ET REUTILISATION DE BATONS DE HOCKEY BRISES

HOCKEY STICK - RECYCLED, RE-MANUFACTURED, RE-USED

Abrégé anglais

ABSTRACT
In the manufacture of many consumer and household products solid wood is
an integral component. In this invention broken hockey stick wood material which
is no longer in its original usable state is recycled, re-manufactured and re-
used as integral components of other household and consumer products.

"HOCKEY STICK - RECYCLED, RE-MANUFACTURED, RE-USED"
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This inven-tion relates -to the re-manufacture and re-use oE broken wood
hockey stick material ra-ther than having-this material placed in landfill sites.
In particular the shaft materlal will be diverted from land-fill sites and re-
manufactured for consumer re-use. As an example which is not -to be considered
limiting, the recycled material may be used in the manufac-ture oE furniture,
outdoor furniture and household products. Statistics Canada~indicates tha-t more
than Eive mill:ion sticks were manuEactured in Canada in lC~86.(last available
data)


SPECIFICATION
Th:ls invention relates to the manuEacture oE household and consumer
products which use sol:Ld wood as a component part.
In the past it was common Eor household and consumer products to use new:Ly
manuEactured wood components and more recently solid wood has been replaced by
other products such as plast:Lcs and metals. EnvLronmenta:l awareness ls now such
that consumer's are anxlous to use recyclecl and sustainable products whenever
possible.

I have concluded that the on-going demand for household and consumer
products, heightened environmentalism, a substantial supply of raw material in
the Eorm of recyclable wood hockey s-ticks all suggest that benefits from-the re-
manu-facture of this recyclable wood product could be realized. Recycling
programs possibly with the assistance of Minis-tries of Environment and Recreation
and Municipalities could be used to accumula-te the raw material supply.
