In an effort it says will address environmental challenges and safeguard jobs, Norpac is converting one of its Longview paper machines to produce packaging products from 100% recycled waste paper.
The company announced Monday it is expanding its business to include packaging papers, such as boxes, displays and bags. Packing products will now comprise almost one-third of Norpac’s production, which has historically included newsprint, book paper and copy paper.
“Norpac is applying our long history of innovation to create this broad range of quality recycled packaging papers,” Norpac CEO Craig Annenberg said in a prepared statement Monday. “By doing so, we can address this regional environmental crisis while meeting global customers’ evolving needs for lighter-weight, higher recycled-content packaging papers with world-class printing.”
