"Domtar's Windsor (Quebec) mill converted its third and last machine to alkaline on December 6. Domtar, like many companies, has been making at least a few grades alkaline for years, but this is its first 100% alkaline mill.
Noranda Forest Recycled Papers, in Thorold, Ontario (formerly Fraser Inc.), went alkaline in November 1990. Of the 12 fine paper mills in Canada, four are alkaline and one (Provincial Papers in Thunder Bay) is neutral. The others are CPFP in Dryden, Island Paper in New Westminster and Prince Albert Pulp & Paper, a division of Weyerhaeuser Canada. E. B. Eddy has one alkaline mill, but it is in the U.S. (Port Huron, Michigan).
Strathmore's Woronoko #2 mill converted in late summer. That's three down and one to go for Strathmore. Their first mill converted on Labor Day, 1989.
Georgia-Pacific's Port Edwards mill converted July 15. This is one of the Nekoosa mills bought by Georgia-Pacific in early 1990. It was in the process of converting to alkaline when it was acquired.
