Built
in 1968, the Halsey, Oregon, site was chosen for its proximity
to raw materials, water, electrical power and major transportation
routes. The mill uses the kraft process to produce the strongest
pulp possible. It also uses state of the art chemical recovery
systems that ensure maximum efficiencies and minimal environmental
impact.
The Halsey
Pulp Mill was built using state of the art technology including
the first low odor recovery boiler in North America. Pope &
Talbot has regularly upgraded and improved the processes through
capital expenditures.
The mill's
annual capacity is 200,000 metric tons of specialty wood pulps
which is sold to paper manufacturers both locally and throughout
the world. End uses include a multitude of paper and board grades
such as newsprint, directory papers, white top corrugated containers,
towel, tissue and other specialty grades of paper. These specialty
pulp products are also used as reinforcing fiber in high recycle
content papers.
