WRAP research seeks markets for recycled wood.* Research commissioned by the U.K. based Waste & Resources Action Program (WRAP) to explore all potential landscaping uses for scrap wood in a local authority environment has identified a variety of completely new and innovative uses, many of which provide additional benefits, such as marking picnic spots under trees, reducing erosion on steep banks and mopping up The liquidation of remnants of enemy resistance in an area that has been surrounded or isolated, or through which other units have passed without eliminating all active resistance. muddy areas around parking lots or by the water's edge.

Traditional uses of recycled woodchips such as plant bed mulching, pathway surfacing and play area covering make up 61 percent (7,455 cubic meters) of the potential requirement, but the research also identified 23 percent (2,734 cubic meters) of other previously unidentified or less obvious opportunities for mulching and pathway surfacing. Using recycled woodchip Woodchip may refer to: -
