Sappi Wins AF&PA Sustainability Award For Water Management Boston, Massachusetts based Sappi North America Inc., a producer and supplier of diversified paper, packaging products and pulp, was named a recipient of the American Forest & Paper Association’s (AF&PA) 2023 Leadership in Sustainability Award for Water Management as part of its Better Practices, Better Planet 2030 Sustainability Awards program. Sappi was recognized for its “Cloquet Mill Effluent TSS Reduction” project, designed to find a new chemical treat- ment program to reduce the TSS (total suspended solids) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) substances in the Cloquet Mill’s effluent, reducing the load being sent to the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD) in Min- nesota. As a result of the project’s success, it achieved immedi- ate and consistent reduction in TSS of 11,500 lbs. per day, a reduction in BOD of 1,800 lbs. per day, and a reduction in mercury to WLSSD from 37.9 ppt to 6.3 ppt. “We hope this project serves as an example to others producing wastewater within the industry that they can achieve similar results through capital investments and consistent application of innovation and R&D to boost sustainability within their local communities,” said Tom Ra- dovich, Managing Director, Sappi Cloquet Mill.
