Energy

Energy is vital to the papermaking process, and we are proud of our efforts to reduce energy consumption. We generate more than 80% of our total mill energy needs from renewable, carbon-neutral biomass residuals, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Biomass residuals are the by-products from converting a tree into cellulose pulp.

Water Stewardship

Water is a vital element in our operations and is necessary to produce our product. Good quality freshwater allows us to generate steam and energy, produce paper and keep wood preserved. As a part of our 2030 goals, we want to reduce overall water use by 25% and implement context-based water stewardship plans at our mills.
