Twin Rivers' Edmundston Mill Gets C$21 Million from Canadian Green Transformation Program

The Twin Rivers Paper Co. in Edmundston, N.B., Canada, has received C$21 million under the Canadian Government's Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program. The mill reportedly will use the funds for upgrades that will improve its environmental performance while producing enough thermal energy to heat more than 1,200 homes.

The Edmundston pulp mill produces bleached softwood sulfite pulp and groundwood pulp that are transferred to the company's Madawaska, Maine, USA, paper mill in slurry form. The mill is fully integrated with the Madawaska paper mill and produces no market pulp. It has a production capacity of 370,000 metric tpy and employs approximately 360 people.
