351 (1) The production of glass wool is the chemical and physical transformation, through a melting, fiberising, binding and curing process, of either or both of the following: (a) recycled materials (such as cullet); (b) silicon dioxide (SiO2, silica); and both of the following: (c) sodium carbonate (Na2CO3, soda ash); (d) other raw materials; into saleable glass wool. (2) The production of glass wool is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity. (3) The production of glass wool is a moderately emissions‑intensive activity. (4) For the production of glass wool, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of glass wool that: (a) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and (b) is of saleable quality.

Note: Saleable quality is explained in Part 2.
