Name of the Project
Green Bay packaging mill.
Location
The new mill will be built adjacent to Green Bay Packaging’s current paper mill in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in the US.
Client
Green Bay Packaging.
Project Description
The state-of-the-art facility will replace the 71-year-old Green Bay paper mill.
The project entails the construction of a packaging mill, which will include a 7.62-m-wide production line for testliner; an effluent treatment plant; stock preparation; waste encapsulation plant; a paper machine with a design speed of 1 200 m/min; and a winder.
The facility will also undergo an environmental upgrade. The coal boiler will be replaced with two natural gas boilers to reduce fuel emissions. The plant will also use a reclaimed water system that will not discharge wastewater into the Fox river or the bay.
The new mill will double Green Bay Packaging’s paper production capabilities.
Potential Job Creation
The project is expected to create about 1 000 jobs.
Value
R500-million.
Duration
The project is scheduled to start in 2021.
