Abstract: The present invention is for a log made from wastes from forestry and the like material. The invention also is for means and method for the production of such log. The log comprises a sheath which surrounds the compressed forestry wastes of the log. A log according to the invention is produced by that forestry wastes is compressed. The goods are fed to a delimited space which corresponds to the outer shape of the log.
