Abstract
This report forms part of the Timber Circularity Project which is a three-year nationally funded initiative commenced in 2023. Led by the National Centre for Timber Durability and Design Life (NCTDDL) the project is funded by Forest and Wood Products Australia (FWPA) and industry partners.
Task 4 of the Timber Circularity project is to:
Develop models to estimate transport costs for specific end-of-life (EOL) treated timber and engineered wood products.
The associated deliverable is:
Models that can be used to determine most appropriate transport strategies for various materials based on distance, fuel costs and regulations.
This document is the Scoping Report for Task 4 of the Timber Circularity Project. It describes the EOL timber products to be transported, each step in the supply chain from source to end-user (including intermediate storage facilities), transport options, the modelling approach to be taken (planning level, model type and software), data gaps, and model validation and acceptance.
