Recycling

Kruger, one of North America’s major paper and board recyclers

As early as the beginning of the 1960s, at a time when the world was just starting to realize that there were benefits to recycling, Kruger’s mills were already producing high-quality board from recyclable paper and board.

Today, the Kruger Recycling business unit is made up of three sorting and recovery centres: Kruger Recycling Inc. in Albany, New York and the sorting centre in Montréal, Québec and its satellite operation in Sherbrooke in the Eastern Townships. Kruger and Kruger Products (formerly Scott Paper) use a large volume of recycled fibres to manufacture their products, as a component of pulp and paper production.

 

In January 1996, Kruger formed a strategic alliance with Canada Fibers Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario. Canada Fibers sells more than 300,000 metric tonnes per year of recyclable paper for use in the manufacture of newsprint, tissue paper and board in Kruger’s mills.

From the beginning of 2007, the recycling business unit has been operating in a new sector, the destruction of confidential documents for business and industry, which allows us to put this recovered paper back into our production cycle.
