Australian newsprint output increasing with new processes
Mr A Clarke outlined Australia’s expanding paper production at a British conference. He cited 300 000 tons of newsprint yearly, with Australia supplying about 80 000 tons, plus 280 000 tons of thin paper and 100 000 tons of writing and special papers. He noted use of eucalypt hardwoods and a new dry felting process for hardboard, with trials due to operate in October.
