New Recycled Board Mill Opens in Ontario

Mill will produce around 700 tons per day of recycled board.

New Forest, a company jointly owned by Atlantic Paper Packaging and Mitchel-Lincoln Packaging, will be opening a new mill in a suburb of Toronto. The facility will recycle old corrugated containers from throughout the Greater Toronto area to make new corrugated cartons.

The facility will produce around 700 tons a day, and is scheduled to run 365 days a year. Gerry Murray, a spokesman for Atlantic Packaging, said that the mill will use exclusively old corrugated containers, and will pull from industrial and municipal sources. The majority of the OCC will come from Canada.

The mill has a single paper machine, and will produce both linerboard and corrugated medium.

The greenfield recycled paperboard mill brings to four the number of paper mills that privately owned Atlantic Packaging owns.
