An ever growing demand for eco-fuels have caused strong competition resulting in a drastic increase in prices. Sawmills - until recently operating on the verge of profitability are being faced with a huge opportunity for improving their efficiency, not only through the sales of wood waste but also via undertaking the process of refining that wood waste leading towards significant increase of their value. The paper presents a method of valuating wood waste being processed into different types of products with a special emphasis on the most rapidly developing eco-fuel that is pellet. The costs of production were determined depending on the type of wood waste being used: sawdust, chips, small-sized residues. The value of individual kinds of wood waste being transformed into pellet was also determined and compared with the value of the sales of wood waste before refining it. A method of evaluating profitability of wood waste processing as an alternative for its sales through setting so called border margin was given. (original abstract)
