Green Bay, Wisconsin based Green Bay Packaging (GBP) announced a substantial investment in the modernization of its Arkansas Kraft paper mill in Morrilton, Arkansas. This multi-year project enhances the mill’s infrastructure and underscores the company’s commitment to sustainable practices and operational efficiency. The investment will encompass vital replacements of key process components, including the recovery boiler and biomass boiler infrastructure.
