G-P imports eucalyptus chips

摘要

Georgia-Pacific late in March imported its first shipment of eucalyptus wood-chips through the port of Reserve,La.,to be tested at the company's tissue paper mills in nearby Port Hudson,La.,and further distant Pennington,Ala.The company declined comment,according to Paperloop's International Woodfiber Report,but knowledgeable sources said the 40,000 green tons from Uruguay,if deemed practical after upcoming testing,could become a regular supplement to the Port Hudson mill's existing consumption of eucalyptus market pulp.
