The PaperWorks Philadelphia Mill represents more than 200 years of papermaking history. According to PaperWorks, it was the world’s largest papermaking plant in the 1860s, and its paper machine is said to still be the widest in the world.
Founded in 2008, PaperWorks Industries currently produces 400,000 tons of 100% recycled paperboard, employing 2,000 people at its nine facilities in the U.S. and Canada.
