### Division 16—Cartonboard manufacturing
316 (1) Cartonboard manufacturing is the physical or chemical transformation of any or all of wood chips, sawdust, wood pulp and recovered paper into rolls of cartonboard that:
(a) has a grammage range of 150 g/m2 to 500 g/m2; and
(b) has a moisture content in the range of 4% to 11%; and
(c) is coated; and
(d) is generally useable as cartonboard product such as coated kraft liner, coated multiply and other coated paperboard.
(2) Cartonboard manufacturing is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) Cartonboard manufacturing is a highly emissions‑intensive activity.
> Note: See Part 4.
(4) For cartonboard manufacturing, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of rolls of cartonboard that:
(a) has a grammage range of 150 g/m2 to 500 g/m2; and
(b) has a moisture content in the range of 4% to 11%; and
(c) is coated; and
(d) is generally useable as cartonboard product such as coated kraft liner, coated multiply and other coated paperboard; and
(e) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(f) is of saleable quality.
> Note: Saleable quality is explained in Part 2.
(5) For the production of pulp from either or both of woodchips and sawdust as part of cartonboard manufacturing, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by an air dried tonne (applying a 10% moisture content) of equivalent pulp that is:
(a) produced from either or both of woodchips and sawdust; and
(b) used in the process of cartonboard manufacturing; and
(c) produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(6) For this Part, an amount of pulp or paper that is used as a basis for the issue of free carbon units for one of the following emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activities:
(a) the manufacture of newsprint;
(b) dry pulp manufacturing;
(c) cartonboard manufacturing;
(d) packaging and industrial paper manufacturing;
(e) printing and writing paper manufacturing;
(f) tissue paper manufacturing;
does not count for the purposes of the basis for allocation of another of those emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activities.
