Overview
The Pulp and Paper Manufacturing industry consists of two main sectors - pulp production and papermaking.
The industry produces products using pulp from both Australian paper recycling and sustainably managed wood sources. Most of the employment is based in no more than 20 operating mills located across the lower South Australian ‐ Victorian border, Latrobe Valley region, Melbourne metro and Tasmania, and New South Wales and South‐East Queensland.
A key growth area is environmentally friendly packaging as a growing number of products are subject to global trade due to a fast-growing global consumption and online shopping.
