Fox River Fiber announced that it has begun utilizing a $7 million wastewater pre-treatment facility designed to reduce the company’s environmental impact from its pulp manufacturing operations.
The De Pere, Wisconsin-based pulp manufacturer utilizes post consumer fiber as its primary raw material for making high-quality pulp.
According to the company, the on-site anaerobic digesting system creates cleaner industrial wastewater prior to releasing it to the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District.
Fox River Fiber announces that it plans to sell the recovered biological solids to other anaerobic treatment facilities for use as seed in treatment towers.
