Part 44         Manufacture of reconstituted wood-based panels

Division 1       Manufacture of reconstituted wood-based panels

728         Manufacture of reconstituted wood-based panels

                The manufacture of reconstituted wood-based panels is the physical and chemical transformation of wood, including wood particles and residues (such as chips, shavings and sawdust) into a reconstituted wood-based panel that:

                (a)    has a density of greater than 500 kg a cubic metre; and

               (b)    has individual wood particles or fibres with an average maximum dimension of no more than 30 mm.

Examples of reconstituted wood-based panels are particleboard and medium density fibreboard .

Division 2       Classification of activity

729         Classification of activity

                The manufacture of reconstituted wood-based panels is a moderately emissions-intensive activity.

Division 3       Electricity baseline for calculating partial exemption

730         Electricity baseline for product

                The electricity baseline for calculating the amount of a liable entity's partial exemption in respect of the manufacture of reconstituted wood-based panels is 0.372 MWh per tonne of raw reconstituted wood-based panel that:

                (a)    has a density of greater than 500 kg a cubic metre; and

               (b)    has individual wood particles or fibres with an average maximum dimension of no more than 30 mm; and

                (c)    is produced by carrying on the emissions-intensive trade-exposed activity; and

               (d)    is of saleable quality.

Note     Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C .
