Environment & Ecology / wood waste disposal
Italian term or phrase: rifiuti a matrice legnosa
La materia prima è costituita da legno di varie essenze e di diversa pezzatura come tronchi, ramaglia, rifili, chips, truciolo, segatura ecc, oltre che da materia prima secondaria provenienti da altre lavorazioni, o rifiuti a matrice legnosa provenienti da terzi.

Could I translate this term simply as "third-party waste wood"?

Explanation:
Or "wood-based refuse" (from third parties).

"All of our wood based waste material and dust is incinerated which is used for heating our factory. Other waste which is minimal is taken away and sorted for recycling to reduce landfill to a minimum."
http://www.lansdownegoodman.co.uk/residential/environmental/

"While old skateboards likely comprise a relatively small portion of that overall figure (along with far more plentiful, higher volume wood-based refuse such as construction materials, disaster debris, tree harvesting residuals, etc.), there’s a far better, infinitely cooler end use for old decks."
