"As part of its commitment to value adding and international best practice, Gunns Limited is proposing the development of a pulp mill in Tasmania utilising the best global technology," it states. [http://www.gunnspulpmill.com.au/]
Gunns have communicated to shareholders that "The project provides an ability for the Company to obtain an increase in the value of pulpwood through accessing the pulp market '''in addition''' to its current woodchip markets."[http://www.gunns.com.au/corporate/download/GunnsAnnualReport.pdf Gunns annual report 2005] This in contradiction to Tasmanian government claims that "It will use woodchips that are otherwise exported."[http://www.pulpmill.tas.gov.au/]
Gunns proposed pulp mill has been described as a highly risky investment.
