Overview
Our two paper mills turn recovered paper into reels and sheets for converters and for our own downstream lines. Grades run from brown kraft for corrugation and wrapping to duplex board for cartons.
The two mills have a combined design capacity of around 160 tonnes a day (company-stated). Availability by grade depends on the production plan; ask for current lead times.

Limitations
Recycled fibre shortens each time it is reused, so strength-critical grades may need a share of long-fibre input. We do not claim paper can be recycled indefinitely.
