Atlantic Packaging Products hopes to complete the conversion
of the idle newsprint PM at its Whitby, ON, mill to containerboard by the end
of April, according to contacts.
The machine would have capacity to produce 300,000 tons/yr
of recycled lightweight containerboard but the net capacity addition reportedly
would be more like 100,000 ton/yr because the company may indefinitely idle an
older existing machine depending on market conditions.
