An important fact to know about wood pellets is that the regulations on the pellets mean that in addition to the content restrictions mentioned above, the pellets may also not be created out of recycled wood, which may have been exposed to contaminants. Wood pellets must also remain free of other external contaminants so that they burn clean and do not pose a risk to the environment or to the homes in which they are burned. For this reason, materials like particle board, painted or treated wood, coated panels, and other recycled wood products are particularly unsuited for use in wood pellets.

Because of the low emissions of the wood pellets and the regulations that prevent excessive pollution from being released when the wood pellets are burned for fuel, this fuel source is one of the cleanest available today. Further developments are being made to make burning wood pellets even more efficient and even safer, making them an attractive heating alternative in many places including home heating systems and more.
