ONP6 vs. ONP8:<br />
Less “outthrows” in ONP8, but greater effort required.<br />
ONP8 however, can likely go to regional/NA mills vs.<br />

Transportation costs disproportionate to actual GHG<br />
emissions generated.<br />
Downstream processing/manufacturing emission factors<br />
(e.g., power) likely unknown to MRF operator.<br />
