Port Townsend Paper Company

Port Townsend Paper Company

Port Townsend Paper Company, LLC produces Kraft pulp, Kraft paper, containerboard, and specialty products by blending virgin and recycled fibers at our mill headquarters in Port Townsend, Washington. Along with Crown Packaging, our sister corrugated packaging facility in British Columbia, we offer a variety of sustainable solutions for our customers. We strive to be good neighbors and valued partners in the community and to preserve the environment. Read on to learn more about PTPC’s values, mission and vision.

PTPC is proud to be an Atlas company. Our mill was purchased in October 2022 by Atlas Holdings, LLC. Atlas got its start in 2002 with the purchase of a small paper mill in Indiana. Today Atlas owns more than 25 companies and still remains true to its roots in the paper industry.

Recycle and Reuse

 Port Townsend Paper recycles the equivalent of one-third of Washington’s collection of recycled cardboard each year at our Old Corrugated Container (OCC) onsite recycling facility (picture a football field 10 feet deep with OCC bales–that’s how much we recycle every week!). This recycling facility provides the mill with more than 300 tons of recycled pulp daily. All of our paper grades are manufactured with OCC, the majority of which is post-consumer waste. The paper we make, in turn, is also recyclable, extending the chain of sustainability. To learn more about why paper recycling is important, visit EPA’s Recycling Basics site.
