Marquette County, Michigan, Receives Recycling Grant The American Beverage Association (ABA), in partnership with The Recycling Partnership, has announced that com- munities within Marquette County, Michigan, will receive a grant of $68,800 through the Every Bottle Back initiative. The funds will be applied toward the purchase of higher capacity recycling carts and recycling education materials for the 4,450 households in Marquette County, including Ishpeming,Marquette and Negaunee townships.This invest- ment is expected to yield more than 38 million new pounds of recyclables over 10 years. Through Every Bottle Back, the beverage industry said it is working to expand equitable access to recycling and edu- cate residents about how to best recycle in their community. This investment within Marquette County is the sixth of 12 initial projects that the American beverage industry has committed to fund under Every Bottle Back. Other projects include investments in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; Kenosha, Wisconsin; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Ohio’s Pleasant Township and the city of Whitehall; and Dallas-Fort Worth. ND Paper Plans New Recycled Pulp Operation The company will make about 200 metric tons of un- bleached recycled pulp per day at its mill in Old Town, Maine. ND Paper, an Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois-based producer of pulp, paper and packaging, plans to launch a new recycled pulping operation at its division in OldTown, Maine. ND Pa- per is the U.S. division of Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Ltd., a large containerboard producer in China andAsia with $10 billion of annual sales. The new production line will make about 200 metric tons of unbleached recycled pulp per day at full capacity.The Old Town mill plans to consume regionally sourced recovered paper,mostly old corrugated containers (OCC), as its prima- ry feedstock for the new recycled pulping operation. ND Paper said it expects to be at full capacity for both produc- tion and staffing of this line by the third quarter of the year. At full operation, the recycled pulping operation will support about 20 new jobs. ND Paper also plans to spend money locally and elsewhere in Maine on services such as fiber sourcing, operational and maintenance supplies and logistics. Long History According to ND Paper, the Old Town mill began opera- tions in 1860 as a sawmill, moving into pulp products in 1882 as the Penobscot Chemical Fiber Co. After multiple ownership changes over the years, the facility was idled in October 2015. ND Paper purchased the shuttered mill in October 2018 and has since invested millions of dollars into its restart. In addition to unbleached recycled pulp, the mill produces unbleached softwood kraft pulp. ND Paper operates four mills in the Unites States, as well as a corrugated packaging plant in Sturtevant,Wisconsin.
