### Division 17—Packaging and industrial paper manufacturing
317 (1) Packaging and industrial paper manufacturing is the physical or chemical transformation of any or all of wood chips, sawdust, wood pulp and recovered paper into rolls of packaging and industrial paper that:
(a) is produced from wholly or partially unbleached input fibre; and
(b) has a grammage range of 30 g/m2 to 500 g/m2; and
(c) has a moisture content in the range of 4% to 11%; and
(d) is uncoated; and
(e) is generally useable as a packaging or industrial paper, including products such as kraft liner, recycled or multiply liner, medium, sack and bag paper, wrapping paper, plasterboard liner, horticultural paper and building paper.
(2) Packaging and industrial paper manufacturing is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) Packaging and industrial paper manufacturing is a highly emissions‑intensive activity.
> Note: See Part 4.
(4) For packaging and industrial paper manufacturing, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of rolls of packaging and industrial paper that:
(a) is produced from wholly or partially unbleached input fibre; and
(b) has a grammage range of 30 g/m2 to 500 g/m2; and
(c) has a moisture content in the range of 4% to 11%; and
(d) is uncoated; and
(e) is generally useable as a packaging or industrial paper product, including products such as kraft liner, recycled or multiply liner, medium, sack and bag paper, wrapping paper, plasterboard liner, horticultural paper and building paper; and
(f) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(g) 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 packaging and industrial paper manufacturing, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by an air dried tonne (assuming 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 manufacturing packaging and industrial paper; 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.
