When Union Camp Corp. (Wayne, NJ) opened its fiber recycling plant in Franklin, VA, in December 1994, it was on the cutting edge of a new type of deinking mill that has sprung up in the US during the past few years. Designed to handle a lower-quality feedstock that was once a threat to deinking facilities, the mill is processing 400 tpd of mixed office waste paper. Although mill operators eventually hope to switch to a higher-quality feedstock, the mill has successfully been processing all its incoming fiber into 100% recycled pulp. This pulp is used for the company`s various recycled-content papers, which are manufactured at Union Camp`s paper mill, also located in Franklin, or sold on the open market. Combined with modern technology and teamwork, these factors have led to a deinking facility that is exceeding plant operators` expectations for both capacity and throughput.
