Definition
The Australian Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Manufacturing industry consists of units mainly engaged in manufacturing wood pulp, paper or paperboard. It includes the manufacture of bulk paper from any fibre, and the production of pulp from recycled paper. Enterprises in this industry buy a range of raw materials, such as black and white liquor, woodchips, clay, lime, dyes and chemical resin, that are processed into either chemical or mechanical pulp. This pulp is either sold to paper/board producers or is processed into bulk paper, newsprint or paperboard within the same manufacturing plant. Such products are then sold to paper product producers (such as paper stationery, paper bags and sacks, paper plates and bowls, tissues etc), paperboard container manufacturers, book and newspaper printers and publishers, bulk paper wholesalers and other user industries.
