Congratulations to ND Paper for their grand opening of the new facility in Biron, WI. This facility will take more than 2000 tons of old corrugated containers (OCC), convert recycled bales of cardboard and corrugated materials into OCC slush pulp, and turn that pulp into paper for brown paper bags, cardboard, and packaging materials.
