Abstract
- This study emerged from the strategic priorities outlined in the Roots for Further Growth strategy produced by the Scottish Forest and Timber Technologies Group [1], which aims to maximise the economic outputs of Scotland’s Forests and Fibre resources through the implementation of viable technologies, and to incentivise landowners in Scotland to grow trees for wood fibre production. Additionally, the strategy seeks to increase fibre recovery from existing harvesting operations and support innovation and new technologies throughout the wood supply chain and downstream industries. Roots for Further Growth highlights the great potential for the use and production of low embodied products in Scotland, including fibre-based materials from waste and recyclingof timber. On that basis, this study seeks to investigate the full potential of homegrown wood fibre for use as insulation products.
