Recycled paper mill to idle due to drop in product demand

摘要

A Packaging Corporation of America mill that uses recycled fiber is suspending operations for two months as the coronavirus pandemic keeps schools and businesses closed. Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) on April 1 announced it will idle its two paper machines and the converting operation at its Jackson, Ala. mill beginning in May. The company anticipates restarting the machines in early July. The Jackson mill produces multiple types of printing and writing paper, including office paper made from recycled fiber, under the Boise Paper brand. The mill purchases recovered fiber and pulp from multiple suppliers through contractual agreements, according to a PCA financial report.
