Australian Paper

Australian Paper "is the only paper manufacturing operation in the PaperlinX Group".

In 2005 Friends of the Earth (Melbourne) noted that "PaperlinX propose to rebuild bleached pulp facility at Maryvale. PaperlinX's logging of native forest to increase by almost 50% (200,000 m3) to meet new demand. 22,800 ha gross hardwood plantations needed to meet new demand for pulp facility. New plantations won't be ready until 2019."

Australian Paper run the Maryvale Mill which "is the largest pulp and paper-making complex in Australia, with three pulp mills, five paper-making machines and a waste paper processing plant." This Mill is linked to Amcor's controversial anti-environmental "A-Team". (see Amcor page for further details).
