Paper Excellence swings production from bleached to unbleached pulp

With strong global market acceptance of unbleached kraft pulp (UKP) manufactured at its Crofton facility, Paper Excellence is also converting its northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) production at its Howe Sound facility to produce UKP as a path to fulfilling increasing customer demand.

UKP has a lighter environmental impact as no bleaching chemicals are needed and a higher yield of residual wood chips are converted into useful pulp fibre.
