Alkaline Mills

The following list of mills was compiled in the office of this Newsletter, and for the most part has been confirmed by calls to the mill or the company headquarters. Additions and corrections are welcome.

These are all fine paper mills, in the sense that they make at least some coated or uncoated freesheet used for printing or writing. Some of the mills also make other kinds of paper. The production figure (tons per day) reflects all kinds of papers made at the mill. In some cases, the production for individual mills is unavailable. In other cases, it is lumped together for all mills within the many located in that town. Mills that are not completely converted (i.e., that make some acidic fine paper) are not listed.
