Paper Excellence says it will retool a machine to produce water-resistant paper to replace single-use plastics for the food industry, and its boiler system to use waste bark and wood instead of natural gas
More than 100 workers at the Paper Excellence mill in Crofton will return to work later this month as the company retools a machine to produce water-resistant paper to replace single-use plastics for the food industry.
The federal government is contributing $14.3 million and the province another $4.5 million to kickstart the changes at Crofton. Unifor western regional director Stew McGarrigle said the investment in Crofton is a “step in the right direction” for B.C.’s forestry sector. “It is an industry facing uncertainty in many regions, but Unifor will continue to work with the provincial government to ensure forestry workers and their communities get the support they need to thrive,” he said.
