Woodchips are a medium-sized solid material made by cutting, or chipping, larger pieces of wood such as Australian jarrah off cuts cut by a wood chipping machine. Woodchips may be used as a biomass solid fuel and are raw material for producing wood pulp. They may also be used as an organic mulch in gardening, landscaping, restoration ecology, bioreactors for denitrification and mushroom cultivation. The raw materials of wood chips can be pulpwood, wood plantations, waste wood and residuals from construction, agriculture, landscaping, logging, and sawmills and locally grown and harvested fuel crops. Woodchips aids in water conservation, weed control, reducing and preventing soil erosion and germination of native Australian seeds.
