Explore why Vietnam’s sawdust briquette charcoal is a top choice for B2B buyers worldwide – from eco-friendly benefits to stable quality and Thaloca’s trusted export capacity

Why Vietnam’s Sawdust Charcoal Is Winning Global Buyers

In today’s eco-conscious global market, clean-burning, high-efficiency fuels are in rising demand — especially in regions like Japan, the EU, the US, and the Middle East. Among many fuel options, sawdust briquette charcoal from Vietnam stands out as one of the most trusted choices by global B2B buyers.

Here’s why.

1. Eco-Friendly – Turning Wood Waste Into Value

Vietnam’s sawdust charcoal is produced by recycling wood by-products — particularly sawdust from furniture and handicraft workshops. Instead of contributing to landfill or illegal burning, this material is transformed into high-value clean energy.
This process supports:

• Sustainable forestry practices
• Zero-deforestation goals
• Green product compliance for EU and Japan

For many buyers, using this charcoal means reducing carbon footprint while meeting import environmental regulations.

2. High Heat Efficiency – Low Smoke – Odorless

Thanks to advanced screw pressing and carbonization technology, sawdust charcoal in Vietnam achieves impressive technical specifications:
Fixed Carbon: ≥ 85%
Calorific Value: 7500–8000 kcal/kg
Burning Time: 5–6 hours
Smoke & Odor: None
Ash Content: ≤ 5%
Performance tests show that core temperature (700–730°C) can be maintained for 4–4.5 hours, making it ideal for: High-end restaurants & Indoor/outdoor BBQ use. 

3. Space-Efficient – Easy to Pack & Transport

Unlike irregular lump charcoal, sawdust charcoal is machine-molded into hexagon or square shapes with a center hole, offering:

• Uniform shape and hardness
• High container loading capacity (24–27 tons per 40HQ)
• Export packaging flexibility: 5kg, 10kg cartons or jumbo bags
• This ensures lower logistics costs per ton, a major benefit for importers and retail chains.

4. Versatile Grades for Different Needs

Vietnamese sawdust charcoal is available in multiple grades, depending on the raw material:

Grade          Raw Material                                 Best Use
A+               100% premium hardwood              High-end BBQ, Japanese & Arabian markets
A1                Mixed hardwood & softwood         General export & HORECA channels
A                  100% softwood                              Home use, camping, local restaurants

This allows buyers to choose the most cost-effective option without compromising quality.

5. Reliable Supply – Competitive Price

Thanks to its well-developed domestic supply chain, Vietnam offers stable and scalable sawdust charcoal production: Monthly capacity: up to 800 tons/ Multiple factories in Hung Yen, Thai Nguyen/ In-house sourcing of sawdust from certified wood manufacturers/ Competitive pricing vs Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka
This is ideal for buyers needing consistent shipments and long-term contracts.

Vietnamese factories like Thaloca comply with international documentation and certifications required for global trade:
