For packaging and industrial paper manufacturing, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.554 MWh per total tonne of rolls of packaging and industrial paper that:

is produced from wholly or partially unbleached input fibre; and

has a grammage range of 30 g/m² to 500 g/m²; and

has a moisture content in the range of 4% to 11%; and

is uncoated; and

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

produced from either or both of woodchips and sawdust; and

used in the process of manufacturing packaging and industrial paper; and

produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
