McKinley Paper Co. Mill in Washington to Reopen

SEATTLE (Waste 360): The McKinley Paper Co. mill in Port Angeles, Wash., was shuttered in April 2017 by former owner Nippon Paper Industries USA, but now, the mill is undergoing $6.1 million in improvements and is slated to reopen by the end of 2019.

The mill’s new equipment includes a pulper for processing recycled cardboard into heavyweight bag-grades of paper and corrugated fluting for box liners, according to a report by the Peninsula Daily News.

The new pulper will increase production from 700 oven-dried tons of pulp daily to 900 tons, and the gross production of paper grades will increase from 800 air-dried tons daily to 840 tons.
