Abstract: This article studied the shortage of forestresources, the nature of woods, wood waste recycling, the wood used in ourcountry and the development of reverse logistics. This paper analyzed how tomeet the need for reverse logistics network. According to the development of

1 The significance and current situation of deserted wood recycling
1.1 Introduction
China is poor in forest resource, the averagecoverage of forest for each person only equals to 22% of the global average, ranked 134 in the world; the average forest stock onlyequals to 14.6% of the global average, ranked 122[1] in the world. With22% of the world population, our forest reserves only account for 3.2% of the globalforest[2]reservation. Chinese per capita wood consumption is 0.12 m3, whereas the per capita woodconsumption of developed countries is 1.16 m3, if calculated in accordance withthe current level of developed countries, Chinese annual demand of wood will be1.5 billion m3[3]. With economic society developing, theper capita consumption also increases, the totals will increase to 130 million m3[4]as long as the national percapita consumption of wood increases 0.1 m3.
1.2 The significance and value of wood recycling
As the renewable and recycled materials ofthe world’s four major timber materials (steel, cement, wood, plastic), woodplays an irreplaceable even more and more important role in the people'slivelihood[7]. It is most convenient to recycling wood garbage forthe properties of bulky, light weight, clean, easy sorting and transport. If areasonable and efficient recycling measurement is carried, the serious shortageof resources and the high gap between supply and demand to some extent can relieve.If centralizing the construction waste wood, old furniture, old flooring, oldpackaging, old sleepers, the old poles, disposable chopsticks and the peasantsfor their own use of all waste material of wood and woodwork, Chinese annual woodwaste reaches at least more than 85 million m3, which equivalents toChina's annual merchantable timber yield, and shows that has a great potential torecycle timber resources[8]. The current rate of multipurpose utilizationis only 63% in
