Kruger Invests $16M Into Collection And Storage Site In Quebec Canadian packaging manufacturer Kruger has announced its plans to invest $16 million into its collection and storage operations at its new site on chemin des Petites-Terres, in Trois-Rivières’ Pointe-du-Lac district, near Kruger Packag- ing’s Containerboard Mill, which is Québec’s leading pa- per and paperboard recycler. Covering one million square feet, or the equivalent of about 13 football fields, Kruger Recycling’s new operation- al center will ensure a stable fiber supply for the contain- erboard mill, while reducing transportation-related GHG emissions. Remaining focused on its vision of sustainable eco- nomic development, Kruger is on track to develop a new storage facility that will position Trois-Rivières as a major circular economy hub in Québec.

“We already recycle 100 percent of the paper and pa- perboard collected from residential blue bins in Trois-Riv- ières,” explains Stéphanie Bouchard, General Manager, Recycled Fibres and Biomass, at Kruger Recycling. “The new site will be used to consolidate operations near our main customer, the Trois-Rivières Containerboard Mill, and to further develop our collection route with businesses and stores, which will make the region an important recy- cling hub in Québec.” Strategically located at the entrance to the city and near busy highway corridors, the site will receive recycled ma- terial from Mauricie and other regions in Québec, as well as from eastern Ontario and the northern United States. Kruger is a recycling pioneer as it has been manufactur- ing 100 percent recycled containerboard and ecofriendly packaging since the early 1960s. In 2017, the Company in- vested more than $250M in its manufacturing facility on Gene H. Kruger Boulevard to modernize its operations and give it a new future in the growing sector of 100 per- cent recycled lightweight and high-strength linerboard. The development of the new recycled materials stor- age facility is another step towards vertically integrating Kruger’s operations in Québec, ensuring optimal manage- ment of its recycled fibre supply. The Trois-Rivières Con- tainerboard Mill alone recycles annually 450,000 tonnes of paper and old corrugated containers (OCC).
