Shandong Chenming Paper, Shanghai, China, reportedly has shutdown a 30,000 metric tpy paper mill in Hulunbeir City, in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. The site, operated by Hailar Chenming Paper, ceased production at the end of May. The mill has several small paper machines producing low quality tissue and uncoated fine paper, all which will be permanently retired.
The action is in line with China's efforts to shutdown old and small paper and board making machinery. The government recently announced it would force the closure of old pulp and paper equipment with a combined capacity of 9.7 million metric tpy across the country by the end of this year, according to a RISI report. Each province will have a specific target, and provide a detailed list of machines to be closed soon. Hailar Chenming has been put on this year's closure list by the Inner Mongolian authorities.
