Division 38Production of glass beads

### Division 38—Production of glass beads 338 (1) The production of glass beads is the physical and chemical transformation of either or both of the following: (a) recycled materials (such as cullet); (b) all of the following: (i) silicon dioxide (SiO2, silica); (ii) sodium carbonate (Na2CO3, soda ash); (iii) any other raw materials; through a crushing, sieving and firing process into saleable, solid, spherical glass beads where the refractive index is at least 1.50 and the size is smaller than 2 millimetres. (2) The production of glass beads is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity. (3) The production of glass beads is a highly emissions‑intensive activity. (4) The basis for the issue of free carbon units for the production of glass beads is by a tonne of solid glass beads on a dry weight basis that: (a) have a refractive index of at least 1.50; and (b) have a size smaller than 2 millimetres; and (c) are produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and (d) are of saleable quality. > Note: Saleable quality is explained in Part 2.
