Abitibi pulls plug on Coosa Pines containerboard experiment - less future supply from conversions?

摘要

AbitibiBowater will permanently close the paper machine at its Coosa Pines, AL, mill, ending its "pilot project" begun in the fall of 2009 to make recycled lightweight containerboard and kraft paper on a converted newsprint machine. The company, however, on Monday said it "remains committed" to producing around 325,000 short tons/yr of fluff market pulp at the facility.
