Georgia-Pacific is planning to invest approximately USD 70 million to modernise pulp and paper operations at Palatka in Florida, US.
"We continue to make ongoing investments in the mill to help reduce our overall environmental impact and to improve our cost- competitiveness. This investment helps accomplish both of those goals, and earning this investment is a great accomplishment for our entire Palatka team,” said, Kevin Curry, Palatka Mill Manager, Georgia-Pacific.
The investment is for a new evaporation system to enhance energy efficiency and reduce water use by more than 30 percent.
The Palatka mill operates two kraft paper machines, three paper machines manufacturing paper for bath tissue and paper towels, and a number of converting operations producing finished paper products ready for customers.
