Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is paper production, woodcontaining, lightweight coated. The reference product is paper, woodcontaining, lightweight coated. The product "paper, wood containing, lightweight coated", also called LWC paper, is a type of graphic paper. More specific, it is a coated, mechanical paper which means that less than 90% of the fibres are in form of chemical pulp. Coated means that this paper is on one or even both sides coated with a coating mineral like kaolin or calcium carbonate. Usually, this kind of paper mills contain an integrated mechanical pulp production and sometimes also an integrated deinking equipment for recovered paper. The used sulfate pulp is usually produced outside of the paper mill. This paper grade is predominantly used for print materials such as magazines and journals that require a higher paper quality than newsprint paper. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
