Problems Solved: Tracking True for Success, Paper360º March/April 2019

It was five years ago in July, 2013, when the first roll of lightweight linerboard came off a machine at Cascades’ new mill near Buffalo, New York. Sure, the nearby Niagara Falls are impressive—but so is this 100 percent recycle Greenpac Mill.

Cascades’ Greenpac Mill is a sustainable recycling operation that includes a modern, large linerboard machine. The machine has a 356-inch (9.03 m) trim and produces extra-performance packaging grades.

“We basically produce two linerboard grades here,” says Murray Hewitt, Greenpac’s general manager. “One is a high performance (HP) grade that is basis weight driven. The other is a grade we introduced called XP (extra performance), which is sold based on its ability to meet strength guarantees. The fact that we make the sheet lighter while adding starch for crush resistance is an added plus, as it also reduces transportation costs for our customers.”
