Oriented strand board, also known as OSB, production
There is no problem with 'древесина' - timber - but what about 'низкотоварная'? I've been able to find 'semi-subsistence' but somehow it doesn't ring right. I am not sure about 'mill culls', junk wood', and the like, since those are equivalents of 'низкокачественная', not quite the same thing. Any suggestions?
Context: This is a raw material used to produce OSB (oriented strand board) - перспективный материал, заменяющий фанеру

Reference:
low-grade wood
We may therefore define low-grade wood as wood which, in a given situation, is not utilized, because:
· The physical and chemical qualities of the species are considered unsuitable for products for which there is effective demand.
· There is no adequate technology available for its harvesting and/or subsequent processing.
· The economics of utilization are, in general, unattractive and unrewarding to investors.
· The marketing infrastructure and marketing systems in the area or country are inefficient.
