Why the Distinction between “Pre-” and “Postconsumer” Recovered Fiber Should be Eliminated
One of the barriers to increased paper recovery for recycling is the distinction made between so-called
“pre-consumer” and “post-consumer” fiber. Mandates that dictate “post-consumer” content in
products often result in distortions
in the market-driven demand/supply balance by driving up prices for
some usable fiber while placing an
artificial barrier to the use of other
equally environmentally beneficial
recovered paper.
Benefits accrue from utilizing all
available sources of recovered fiber,
not by singling out a specific source
as the one that “counts.” It is somewhat ironic that the paper industry,
despite the great strides made in
recovering our own products, continues to be the only commodity
where attention regarding this mandate is placed.
Certification Bodies are Shifting
Standards
Fortunately, major third-party forest products certification groups
have taken action recently to eliminate the distinction between and
fully value both “pre-” and “postconsumer” recovered paper. Both

Benefits accrue from utilizing all
available sources of recovered
fiber, not by singling out a specific
source as the one that “counts.”
(SFI) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) are updating their chainof-custody standards.
The SFI board of directors voted
in November 2014 to approve the
final draft of the SFI 2015-2019:
Standards and Rules. AF&PA filed
comments supporting proposed
changes that eliminate the distinction between “pre-consumer” and
“post-consumer” fiber in SFI’s definition of recycled content and in labeling standards for the products
that contain recycled content. The
new SFI standard, which went into
effect on January 6, 2015, recognizes
both “pre-consumer” and “postconsumer” recycled fiber as qualifying as certified recycled content.
The change also allows SFI chain-ofcustody certificate holders that use
recycled content in their products
the ability to choose to incorporate a
Mobius loop in on-product labeling
stating the percentage of recycled
content in the product.
FSC recommended revising its
chain-of-custody standard in late
2013 with a view to include all recovered paper materials as inputs
towards FSC credit. FSC received

The Aaron Group Continues Growth and
Diversity, Appoints Drew M. Aaron as CEO
The Aaron Group of Companies is
pleased to announce the official appointment of Drew M. Aaron as CEO
of The Aaron Group of Companies.
Drew joined The Aaron Group in
1996 and later took over as President
and COO in 2006.
The announcement was made by
Gene Aaron, Chairman of The Aaron
Group of Companies, who will continue in his role as chairman and
work with company leaders to oversee strategic growth and large-scale
innovation.
“In my 48 years of experience in
the paper industry, I have witnessed
nearly five decades of change, and
specifically with the recent mergers
and acquisitions of both mills and
clients, I believe it is the right time
to transition our company leadership into the hands of the next generation.
“I am extremely pleased to name
my son, Drew Aaron, CEO of The
Aaron Group, effective immediately,
and his brother, Brent Aaron, President of The Aaron Group. Combined, they bring close to 50 years of

Group as we deal with these new
challenges that we see as great opportunity to gain more market share.
We are working on some very exciting
new paper grades, in many cases
exclusives — for both the publishing and packaging arenas — with
our North American, European, and
Asian mills. It is fundamental that our
mill partners understand the loyalty
and strong value we place upon them,
and the importance of doing right
by them in every capacity. We see
much opportunity and exciting times
ahead in the difficult climate of the
paper industry.”
Drew Aaron shared, “It is great to
be working together in a family
business where we all bring different strengths to The Aaron Group.
Between my brother, father, our
strong management team and the
rest of our loyal organization, we
will continue to streamline to keep
our costs to a minimum, giving our
valued clients competitive pricing
while ensuring the best net returns
to our mill partners.”
The Aaron Group of Companies
(E. Aaron Ent., Aaron Direct, Grant
Paper Company, and Aaron International) consist of distinct paper
brokerage firms each with a different focus on the industry which
diversifies from publishing to
packaging grades, focusing on first
line paper for magazines, catalogs,
and retail companies. Aaron Paper
has additional, wholly owned affiliate merchants and subsidiaries,
and combined is one of the largest
privately held paper merchants in
North America, with strong ninefigure corporate sales.

Caraustar Industries
Completes Acquisition
of The Newark Group
Caraustar Industries in mid-February announced that it completed the
acquisition of The Newark Group.
Terms of the deal were not
disclosed.
The Newark Group is a manufacturer of recycled paperboard, linerboard, industrial tubes, cores and
other converted products including
book covers and packaging solutions.
Headquartered in Cranford, New
Jersey, The Newark Group has approximately 1,500 employees and
operates over 20 manufacturing facilities across North America.
“We are excited to add The Newark Group to our company,” said
Caraustar President and CEO Michael Patton. “The combination of
these two companies offers a compelling platform for future growth
and will make us more competitive
in the end use customer segments
we serve.”
Caraustar Industries is an integrated manufacturer of 100% recycled paperboard and converted
paperboard products.

Why the Distinction between “Pre-” and “Post-consumer” Recovered Fiber Should be Eliminated
(from page 1)
input from stakeholders, including
AF&PA, that confirmed support for
the revision. FSC International and
the chain-of-custody working group
released the revised standard in late
December 2014. It recommends
that “pre-consumer” fiber is given
full value for certification for both
its Recycled and Mix labels. Identification of “post-consumer” content
is optional. A 60-day comment period on that recommendation was in
effect at press time.
AF&PA applauds SFI and FSC actions toward certifying all recovered
fiber as equally valued environmentally and economically. The updated standards demonstrate that the
marketplace is moving away from
making that artificial distinction.

Impacts of Government
“Post-consumer” Recycled
Content Mandates
Barriers regarding the use of recovered fiber in paper products remain,
however. Federal and some state
government procurement guidelines mandate “post-consumer”
recovered fiber content for paper
products. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) procurement guidelines call
for minimum 30 percent “postconsumer” recycled content in
office copy paper they purchase.
EPA Region 9 has gone a step
farther. It adopted a Shared Leadership Project initiative as part of the
Federal Green Challenge to purchase only 100 percent “post-consumer” recycled content office copy
paper. The underlying assumption
is that paper recovery will increase
if higher “post-consumer” recycled
content is a purchase requirement
for certain products.
AF&PA is working with EPA Region
9 to show that with paper recovery rates already above 60 percent,
higher “post-consumer” recycled
content mandates for copy paper
will not drive increased paper recovery — but likely result in a shift
in utilization of recovered paper
among products.
A RISI expert opinion piece identifying the economic and environmental impacts of high “post-consumer” recycled content mandates
supports AF&PA’s position. RISI’s
analysis concludes that an increase
in mandated consumption of “postconsumer” recovered fiber in one
end-use causes reductions in consumption of recovered paper in other end uses:
Our view is that there is strong
evidence that recycled content mandates have little if any effect on recovery rates when recovery rates are
high, as they are in the United States
and across the world generally. The
allocation of recovered fiber to paper and paper packaging products is
generally most efficient when there
are no artificial content mandates.
AF&PA’s position is that the distinction between “pre-consumer”
and “post-consumer” should not
be used in government policies. We
encourage federal and state governments to recognize what the marketplace already has and eliminate the
distinction between “pre-consumer”
and “post-consumer” recovered
fiber in procurement guidelines
so that all recovered fiber may find
its highest-value end-use in the
manufacture of new products.

AF&PA Highlights Sustainability with State and Local Policymakers
State and local governments are
more focused than ever before on
policy initiatives to promote renewable energy, increase recycling,
reduce waste, and ban products
and packaging that are thought to
be hard to recycle and destined for
landfill. From Maine to California,
AF&PA is promoting the sustainabil-
ity of paper and packaging manufacturing processes and products
with policymakers.
States across the nation will be
determining the role of biomass in
complying with President Obama’s
Clean Power Plan. AF&PA is the
leading advocate in the states for
full recognition of the environmental
benefits of carbon-neutral biomass
in achieving in a clean-energy future.
In Maryland, AF&PA continues
to fight legislative efforts to remove
carbon-neutral biomass from the
state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard. AF&PA hosted an advocacy
day in Annapolis on January 27 to
educate legislators about the industry’s sustainability practices. An
AF&PA delegation met recently with
newly-elected Governor Larry Hogan and highlighted our industry’s
commitment to sustainable practices and economic impact.
State advocacy days are being
held in Olympia, Washington, Albany, New York, and Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania to advocate on behalf
of AF&PA members and the products they produce, and the economic contributions they make to
local economies. In each state, we
are partnering with our members
and allies to carry the message from
state residents to their capitol.
States and local governments are
targeting specific products, such
as plastic bags and foam foodservice packaging, to control litter and
reduce waste management costs.
In California, AF&PA continues to
fight first-in-the-nation legislation
to ban plastic bags and impose
a statewide tax on paper bags.
Paper and packaging products are
being caught in the crossfire, and
subjected to unfair taxes and bans
in efforts to shift costs to manufacturers. AF&PA’s advocacy plays a
key role in promoting our industry’s
success in paper recovery, and preserving market access for paper and
paper-based packaging. Legislation
has been introduced in many states
regulating grocery bags. Local jurisdictions and some states are beginning to target coated papers used in
foodservice packaging.
In California, AF&PA continues
to fight first-in-the-nation legislation to ban plastic bags and impose
a statewide tax on paper bags. State
legislation passed in 2014 would
mirror ordinances in force in over a
hundred California cities and counties, banning single-use plastic grocery bags and imposing a ten cent
tax on paper bags to benefit retailers. Opponents of the bill launched
a successful referendum effort to
place the legislation on the November 2016 statewide ballot. The legislation is suspended pending the
outcome of the vote.
In local jurisdictions, AF&PA is
leading efforts to educate policymakers on recycling best practices
as well as the environmental benefits of paper and paper-based packaging. In Seattle, AF&PA is working
to protect and promote the sustainability of recyclable paper-based
food packaging. In Houston, AF&PA
is on the forefront of efforts to increase paper recovery and recycling
in ways that protect the quality of
the recovered fiber and ensure its
reuse in the manufacturing process.
Fees and bans on packaging are expected to remain priorities for local
governments, and AF&PA is leading the effort on behalf of paper
and packaging products with a significant investment in local government advocacy in 2015.
AF&PA advocacy with state and
local governments ensures that our
industry’s sustainable manufacturing practices are known and recognized by policymakers, and that
consumers can continue to choose
sustainably manufactured paper
and paper-based products to meet
their packaging needs.

In the fall of 1999, Northwoods Paper
Converting, Inc. (NPC) was founded
by Chad Abel and Jim Moreau. NPC
started out with one location in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin that housed a
new Marquip sheeter and four employees.
Today, NPC not only operates its
original Beaver Dam facility, which
now features 6 sheeters, but also offers converting services at a facility
in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania
that offers 4 sheeters and a rewinder.
Overall, NPC currently has over
180 employees, approximately
27,000 tons of inventory, and 455,000
square feet of warehouse space.
According to NPC’s president,
Chad Abel, the company’s two locations offer some of the best freight
advantages to the largest print
markets in the country, while using high-end equipment to get jobs
completed.
NPC currently has over 180
employees, approximately
27,000 tons of inventory,
and 455,000 square feet

“NPC strategically purchases some
of the best sheeters and rewinders in
the industry, which hold the tightest tolerances and create fast turnarounds,” Abel noted.
“We continually reinvest in our
employees, software, equipment
and warehouses, which allows us to
stay ahead of customer demand and
meet their packaging and converting needs,” Abel added.
In addition to celebrating over 15
years of successful operation, NPC
recently launched a redesign of its

Norkol’s
Pennsylvania
Office Celebrates
10th Anniversary,
Change, Growth
Norkol Inc. is pleased to announce
that its Pennsylvania office recently
celebrated its 10th anniversary and
that much has taken place over the
past ten years.
“Needless to say it’s been a decade of both change and growth,”
said Michael J. Doherty, VP East
Coast Sales for Norkol. “Initially we
were focused on commercial printing and newsprint grades. However,
the contraction in those markets required us to pursue other opportunities in order to offset the decline.
“Today, our office is heavily involved in both the export and the
import of flexible packaging and
pressure sensitive grades. We work
closely with our offshore suppliers
by stocking inventory at our plants
throughout the country for just-intime delivery to compensate for the
lead times ocean freight requires,”
Doherty explained.
With over 700,000 square feet
of paper warehousing available
nationwide, Norkol’s nationwide
network of warehouses can keep
product on hand and available
for immediate delivery.
“Additionally, we have worked
closely with mill closings and mergers in the movement of excess and
obsolete inventories, which we take
in, neuter, and use in alternative applications not disturbing their traditional markets,” Doherty said.
Norkol is one the nation’s largest independently owned converters and
distributors of commercial printing
papers. The company provides personalized customer service to deliver quality and savings to meet its
clients’ printed product needs. Norkol operates paper converting and
satellite offices across the country.
With over 700,000 square feet of
paper warehousing available nationwide, Norkol’s nationwide network
of warehouses can keep product
on hand and available for immediate delivery whenever its customers
need “paper in a pinch”. Together,
Norkol will work to minimize clients’ excess inventory through converting and resale.

Resolute Expands Its Ecoconscious Align Paper Grades
Resolute continues to expand its
Align™ brand of environmentally

the company’s existing offerings
of Ecopaque, Equal Offset and Resolute Max.
“By expanding our Align ecoconscious product line, Resolute is following through on its sustainable

down their fiber consumption,” said
John Lafave, Senior Vice President,
Pulp and Paper Sales and Marketing.
“These products also save consumers money with no quality tradeoff in
the printed product.”
Specific grades that were added to
the Align umbrella include Hybrid
Smooth, Hybrid Vellum, Hybrid Envelope, Alternative Book, Alternative
Offset and Alternative Opaque produced at the company’s Calhoun,
Tennessee mill, as well as Alternative Offset and Alternative Book produced at the Alma, Quebec, mill.
Align’s Hybrid grades are high yield,
opaque offset papers used for commercial printing such as comics,
direct mail, directories, envelopes,
inserts and manuals.
Align’s Alternative Offset papers
are ideal for a variety of print applications, including book publishing,
financial printing, annual reports
and direct mail.
Resolute’s Calhoun mill made significant advancements in reducing
its environmental footprint in 2013,
which qualify certain of its products
to become part of the Align family.
One of the most important changes
involved shifting Calhoun’s energy source from coal to natural gas,
considerably reducing the mill’s
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Align papers are made with up to
50% less wood fiber compared to
freesheet paper, and have an environmental footprint 35% to 85%
smaller than the average freesheet
grade. In addition, by delivering
higher opacity and bulk at a lower basis weight than traditional
freesheet, Align helps reduce paper,
postage and transportation costs.

RockTenn and MeadWestvaco Agree to Merge
Rock-Tenn Company and MeadWestvaco on Jan. 26 announced that
they entered into a definitive combination agreement to create a leading global provider of consumer and
corrugated packaging (“NewCo”)
in a transaction with a combined
equity value of $16 billion. The
combined company, to be named
prior to closing, will have combined net sales of $15.7 billion and
adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 billion,
including the impact of $300
million in estimated annual synergies to be achieved over three years.
Under the terms of the deal, which
has been unanimously approved
by the boards of directors of both
companies, MWV stockholders will
receive 0.78 shares of NewCo for
each share of MWV held. RockTenn
shareholders will be entitled to elect
to receive either (a) 1.00 shares of
NewCo or (b) cash in an amount
equal to the volume weighted average price of RockTenn common
stock during a five-day period ending three trading days prior to closing for each share of RockTenn held.
The cash and stock elections by
RockTenn shareholders will be subject to proration such that the resulting ownership of NewCo will
be approximately 50.1% by MWV
shareholders and 49.9% by RockTenn shareholders, and based on

the shares outstanding today, approximately 7% of RockTenn shares
will receive cash in lieu of stock.
The combination of RockTenn
and MWV will create a $16 billion
global packaging company.
Steven C. Voorhees, CEO of RockTenn, said, “This transaction brings
together two highly complementary
organizations to create a new, more
powerful company with leadership
positions in the global consumer
and corrugated packaging markets.
This is a terrific opportunity for
shareholders, employees and customers of both companies, all of
whom stand to benefit enormously
from the combination. Importantly, our two companies are also an
exceptional cultural fit, sharing a
commitment to exceeding customer
expectations and a focus on developing innovative packaging solutions. Planning for the integration
of these two companies has already
started and we expect to expeditiously realize the full value of cost
synergies we have identified.”
John A. Luke, Jr., chairman and
chief executive officer of MWV,
said, “We are creating the leading
global provider of consumer and
corrugated packaging solutions —
and generating significant value
for both companies’ shareholders.
This transaction is a logical step that
is borne of our strategic progress
and financial success, and it offers
MWV shareholders both immediate
value and the opportunity to participate in significant upside as the
new company generates substantial growth from its market-focused
global strategy.”
Voorhees will serve as CEO and
president of the combined company, and Luke will become non-executive chairman of the board of directors. The board will be comprised of
eight directors from RockTenn and
six directors from MWV. Other key
executives and their positions will
be determined according to their
strengths and will be named prior to
closing.
The combined company will
maintain its principal executive offices in Richmond, Virginia, and will
have operating offices in Norcross,
Georgia.
The transaction requires the approval of shareholders of both MWV
and RockTenn and is subject to receipt of certain regulatory approvals
and other customary closing conditions. Both parties target closing the
transaction in the second calendar
quarter of this year.
Expera Specialty Solutions Acquires
Old Town Fuel & Fiber
Late last year, Expera Specialty Solutions announced the acquisition of
the Old Town Pulp Mill in Old Town,
Maine. Founded more than a century ago, the Expera Old Town pulp
mill is a high-quality pulp mill with
the capacity to produce 200,000 tons
annually. The mill had been previously closed and Expera has since
been investing capital and other resources into the facility to restart the
mill and ensure the highest level of
production quality and capacity.
“We were very excited to welcome
the Old Town employees back to
work and to the Expera family,”
stated Russ Wanke, Chief Executive Officer of Expera. “Expera is a
financially strong enterprise with an
excellent platform positioned for expansion and growth.
“Under Expera, Old Town now has
significant top-line stability and will
benefit from our commitment to
continuous improvement and manufacturing excellence. Old Town
provides Expera with added internal capabilities, allowing us to de-
liver to our customers more product
innovation and even better service,”
Wanke added.
“Under Expera, Old Town

Expera is a leading North American manufacturer of specialty paper
products for use in the pressure-sensitive release liner, industrial, and
food packaging segments. Headquartered in Wisconsin, Expera employs approximately 2,000 people
across four Wisconsin manufacturing facilities located in Rhinelander,

Verso Completes $1.4 Billion
Acquisition of NewPage
Verso Corporation on Jan. 7
announced the completion of its
acquisition of NewPage Holdings
Inc. The deal, valued at approximately $1.4 billion, originally was
announced on January 6, 2014. With
the completion of the NewPage
acquisition, Verso will have approximately $3.5 billion in annual sales
and approximately 5,800 employees in eight mills across six states.
“The combination of Verso and
NewPage creates a stronger, more
stable company with an effective
strategy to weather industry headwinds and reduce operating costs,
while ensuring our customers
continue to benefit from the distinctive quality and service that they
have come to expect from us,” said
David J. Paterson, Verso’s president
and CEO.
“We continue to face increased
competition from electronic substitution for print and from international producers, but as a larger,
more efficient organization with a
sustainable capital structure, we are
better positioned to deliver solid
results despite the industry’s continuing challenges.”
Verso expects the combination to
result in substantial cost synergies
over the next 18 months.
“With the complementary asset
base and shared strategic focus on
coated paper manufacturing, this
acquisition represents a relatively
low integration risk, so we remain
confident that we can deliver the
synergies within the expected timeframe,” Paterson said.
Divestiture of Biron and
Rumford Mills
In a related transaction, immediately prior to Verso’s acquisition of
NewPage, NewPage completed the
divestiture of its paper mill in Biron,
Wisconsin, and its pulp and paper
mill in Rumford, Maine, to Catalyst
Paper Operations Inc., a subsidiary
of Catalyst Paper Corporation. The
divestiture, originally announced
on October 30, 2014, was undertaken pursuant to a settlement with the
United States Department of Justice
that enabled the NewPage acquisition to proceed.
Name Change
Promptly after the NewPage acquisition was completed, Verso
changed its name from Verso Paper
Corp. to Verso Corporation. The
name change symbolizes Verso’s
intention to broaden its business
platform and seek alternative revenue streams to augment its core
printing papers, specialty papers
and pulp segments. Verso’s website address has been changed to:
www.versoco.com.
As previously announced, Verso’s
existing senior leadership team will
continue to lead the organization,
with Paterson continuing as President and CEO.

Paper and Packaging Board
Testing Ad Campaign
New Ads Expected by Summer
By Mary Anne Hansan, Executive Director, Paper and Packaging Board
One year after holding our first
meeting at Paper2014, the Paper
and Packaging Board (P+PB), oversight board for the Paper Checkoff, is testing new advertising designed to slow the decline in paper
consumption and expand demand
for paper-based packaging.
Calling all fine paper
distributors, suppliers,
converters and
service providers
Campaign Target: Meet
“The Expressives”
• 38,000,000 strong
• Trend followers and

• Rely on paper and paperbased packaging to help
them reach their goals
• Offer the greatest potential

The campaign challenge: How do
we elevate what have become ubiquitous products in the lives of American consumers? And how do we
prevent paper products from being
deemed “old school” and irrelevant
in a digital world? We all know that
instant, delightful delivery to our
doorsteps doesn’t happen without
boxes. We know that grocery store
shelves are full of products in boxes
that help us feed the family another
week. Studies even show that holding a real book and putting pen to
real paper fosters success in academic achievement.
The answer: We research and find
the people we need to hear our
story - people who count on and interact with paper and packaging to
get things accomplished. We create
motivating advertising that will run
in magazines, TV, online and yes,
even outdoors, to remind people
of their deep connection to paper
and packaging products. We develop compelling story pitches for
the media about our products’ benefits and responsible environmental footprint. Soon you’ll be hearing
more about our core audience, 38
million strong, and the ad campaign
we will use to reach them. We plan
to announce the campaign launch
in a big way later this year. Find out

Graphic Packaging Acquires Folding
Carton Converting and Paperboard
Mill Assets of Cascades’ Norampac
Graphic Packaging International in
early February closed the acquisition of several folding carton converting and paperboard mill assets
from Cascades’ Norampac Division
in Canada.
Under the terms of the deal, the
purchase price was approximately
$39 million based on trailing twelve
month sales of approximately $215
million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $5 million. Significant
synergies are expected over the next
24 months, the company noted.
“The acquisition of Cascades’
Norampac paperboard assets enhances our position in North American folding cartons and enables
us to extend our customer reach
in Canada,” said David Scheible,
Graphic Packaging’s Chairman, President and CEO.
“The transaction is a continuation
of our acquisition strategy to grow
integrated folding carton converting
volumes in key geographies and endmarkets. These assets will broaden
our customer base and allow us to
offer our current customers a wider
range of products,” Scheible said.
Norampac operates three folding
carton converting facilities located
in Cobourg, Ontario, Mississauga,
Ontario and Winnipeg, Manitoba, along with a Solid Bleached
Sulfate (SBS) substitute mill located in
Jonquiere, Quebec and a Coated
Recycled Board (CRB) mill located
in East Angus, Quebec.

Discover Paper Industry Initiatives that are “Building
New Roadways to Success”
All registered Paper2015 attendees
are invited to attend a special session on paper industry initiatives
that are “Building New Roadways
to Success” at 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday.
This informative session will reveal
the latest industry initiatives and
campaigns promoting paper-based
communications as a valuable and
sustainable choice.
Panelists include Mary Anne
Hansan, executive director of the
Paper and Packaging Board; Phil
Riebel, president of Two Sides North
America; and John Runyan, executive director of Consumers for Paper
Options. Donna Harman, president
and CEO of the American Forest &
Paper Association, will moderate
the discussion.
For years many paper industry
promotion initiatives consisted
mainly of individual company marketing campaigns, each explaining
how their organizations and products were uniquely positioned to
meet current and emerging custom-
er needs. This promotion strategy
resulted in many compelling and
effective campaigns that helped paper buyers differentiate among individual brands of paper, but lacked
a broad focus on promoting paper
at the category level in competition
with other forms of media.
Our industry has a great story to tell
and several initiatives have emerged
in the last few years to uphold the
reputation of the paper industry as
well as promote the intrinsic value,
sustainability and effectiveness of
paper and paper-based communication.
For the first time ever the industry,
through the Paper and Packaging
Board (formerly the Paper Checkoff Program), is combining voices
across a wide range of products to
educate consumers and promote
the power of paper and paper-based
packaging in an organized and purposeful way.

United Kingdom’s Aylesford Newsprint
Files for Bankruptcy
The papermaking and recycling
company Aylesford Newsprint,
based in Kent, United Kingdom, on
Feb. 24 entered into administration
— a British version of U.S. Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection.
Allan Graham and Rob Croxen
from KPMG have been appointed as
administrators.
“Significant overcapacity in the
newsprint market, coupled with rise
of digital media, has created challenging operating conditions for
Aylesford Newsprint,” Graham said.
“The business has been loss-making
for a number of years and was unable to be maintained as a going
concern.”
Upon appointment of the administrators, the production facility was
closed and 233 employees made
redundant. The remaining 65 staff
have been retained to assist the administrators in the sale of the assets
and the decommissioning of the
plant.
The newsprint manufacturer,
which has been operating at its Kent
site since 1922, consumes around
500,000 metric tons of recovered fiber per year to produce more than
400,000 metric tons of 100 percent
recycled-content newsprint. The
mill primarily consumes old newspapers (ONP), mixed paper and old
magazines (OMG).
Aylesford was acquired by USbased private equity firm Martland
Holdings from Mondi and SCA in October 2012.

Domtar to Convert a UFS Paper Machine
at Ashdown to Fluff Pulp Production
Domtar in December announced
that its Board of Directors has approved a $160 million capital project to convert a paper machine at
the Ashdown, Arkansas mill to a
high quality fluff pulp line used in
absorbent applications such as baby
diapers, feminine hygiene and adult
incontinence products.
The planned conversion is expected to come online by the third
quarter 2016 and will allow for the
production of up to 516,000 metric
tons of fluff pulp per year once the
machine is in full operation.
The project will also result in the
permanent reduction of 364,000
short tons of annual uncoated
freesheet production capacity in the
second quarter of 2016.
Currently, the Ashdown mill has
an annual paper production capacity of 680,000 tons and an annual
pulp production capacity of 700,000
tonnes with 3 pulp lines and 3 paper
machines.
“The fluff pulp conversion project
at the Ashdown mill is an important step in advancing our strategy
to generate $300 to 500 million of

expected to come online by

EBITDA from growth businesses,”
said John D. Williams, Chief Executive Officer. “We are expanding our
presence in a growing business that
will allow us to support our top‐tier
supplier position with some of the
world’s largest producers of absorbent hygiene products.
“Once completed, Ashdown, together with our Plymouth mill
will provide a platform to further
strengthen our leading position as
an effective producer of high quality
fluff pulp with nearly one million
tonnes of total production capacity,” Williams said.
Commenting on the reduction
of papermaking capacity, Williams
added, “The conversion of the
paper machine in 2016 will further
help balance our supply with our
customers’ demand. In the interim,
the flexibility of the two remaining
paper machines at the Ashdown mill
allows us to take measured steps to
adjust our paper production while
selling paper-grade pulp.”
The conversion work is expected
to commence during the second
quarter of 2016 and the fluff pulp line
is scheduled to start‐up by the third
quarter 2016. The cost of conversion
will be approximately $160 million
of which $40 million is expected to
be invested in 2015 and $120 million
in 2016.
Domtar will also invest in a pulp
bale line that will provide flexibility to manufacture paper-grade softwood pulp, contingent on market
conditions.
Domtar designs, manufactures,
markets and distributes a wide variety of fiber-based products including
communication papers, specialty
and packaging papers, and absorbent hygiene products. The foundation of its business is a network of
world class wood fiber converting
assets that produce papergrade, fluff
and specialty pulps.

Oji Completes
Acquisition of
Carter Holt Harvey
Pulp & Paper
Oji Holdings Corporation and Innovation Network Corporation of
Japan (INCJ) in December 2014
completed the acquisition of New
Zealand/Australia-based pulp, paper and packaging businesses comprised of Carter Holt Harvey Pulp &
Paper Limited (CHHPP) and certain
related companies held by Carter
Holt Harvey Limited (collectively
“CHHPP Group”) from Rank Group.
The value of the deal, including
the CHHPP Group’s net debt, is approximately NZ$1.037 billion (approx. USD 892 million).
The deal was announced in April
2014 and was cleared by the Commerce Commission (NZ) in August.
In a press release, Oji Holdings
said, “In recent years, we have been
aggressively expanding our overseas
businesses, particularly in Southeast Asia and other emerging markets where strong growth for pulp
and paper market is expected. We
position paperboards and packaging products as our core products
and have either acquired or built a
total of 21 plants/facilities (including on-going green-field projects)
in Southeast Asia and India over the
past few years.
“Further, we have been focusing
on the forest resources business.
We have been operating Pan Pac
(plantation forests, lumber-processing and pulp business in New Zealand), CENIBRA (plantation forests
and pulp business in Brazil) and a
number of other plantation assets
in Southeast Asia and Oceania, with
an aim to further expand the business in Japan and globally in the near
future.”
In a statement, INCJ pointed out
that the acquisition of Carter Holt
Harvey’s pulp and paper business
will enable Oji to source softwoods
for use in cardboard and tissues, for
which demand is expected to grow
from developing countries.
“This acquisition enables a stable
supply of rare softwoods because
of the abundance of conifer trees
in New Zealand,” INCJ said in the
statement. “This permits Oji to
develop its business more effectively
in growth markets, particularly in
Asia.”
Wood Costs for Hardwood
Pulp-Producing Mills Have
Declined in 2014, Softwood
Pricing Stable
The costs of hardwood fiber for
the manufacturing of pulp have
trended downward for over three
years, according to Wood Resource
Quarterly (WRQ) published by Wood
Resources International.
The global Hardwood Fiber Price
Index (HFPI), which tracks prices
for pulp logs and wood chips in 14
regions around the world, reached
its lowest level since 2009 in the
3Q/2014 when it fell to $96.76 per
oven-dry metric ton (odmt). The
biggest declines in prices from the
2Q/2014 occurred in Sweden, Russia, Brazil and Australia mainly as
the result of a stronger US dollar.
The HFPI index has trended downward for over three years when the
all-time high of $117.90/odmt was
reached. The largest consumption
of hardwood fiber in the world is in
Brazil where pulp production has
been on an upward trend for over
two decades.
Despite the continued increase in
pulp production and the accompanying rise in wood fiber consumption, prices for Eucalyptus logs have
not changed much in Brazilian Real
terms, WRQ reported. In US dollar
terms, the picture is somewhat different, with prices having fallen as
the Brazilian Real has depreciated.
The Softwood Fiber Price Index
(SFPI), which tracks global prices
of softwood chips and pulp logs,
has been fairly steady over the past
two years, fluctuating between $98100/odmt. The major changes in
softwood prices in 2014 occurred in
sawmill residuals in Western US and
Western Canada where prices increased, and in Germany and Brazil
where prices have fallen this year.
In Western Canada, chip prices
have gone up mainly because of
higher prices for softwood market
pulp (NBSK), to which they often are
linked, while recent price increases
in Western US have been driven by a
rise in the volume of exported chips
to Japan.
Although wood raw-material costs
for the Russian forest industry have
not changed much in Ruble terms,
the costs in US dollars for pulp logs
have fallen dramatically from the
2Q/2014 to the 3Q/2014 because of
the weakening Russian currency.
Reduced pulpwood prices in
Sweden, Russia, Brazil and
Australia in the 3Q/14 resulted
in the lowest Hardwood Fiber
Price Index since 2009.
Pulpwood prices have come down
to levels not seen in more than six
years. Currently, both softwood and
hardwood pulp log prices are lower
in Russia than in any of the 17 other
regions covered by WRQ.

CMPC Guaiba 2 Pulp
Facility in Brazil
88% Complete
Empresas CMPC said that its landmark Guaiba 2 Project, in the State
of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, remains
on budget and on schedule for startup in the second quarter of 2015.
The facility was at 88% physical
completion as of December 31,
2014. The main milestones achieved
in the project’s execution to date
include the completion of the electric substation, the startup of the
water supply system, the hydrostatic
testing of the digester and, most recently, the first ignition of the recovery boiler.
The $2.1 billion expansion
of the Guaiba pulp mill will
add 1.3 million tons of
eucalyptus pulp capacity
to CMPC’s total output.
Approved by the Board of Empresas CMPC in December 2012,
the $2.1 billion expansion of the
Guaiba pulp mill will add 1.3 million
tons of eucalyptus pulp capacity.
This new unit is being added to the
existing mill, which produces 450,000
tons per year of pulp. Once the new
unit is in full operation, CMPC’s
total hardwood and softwood pulp
capacity will climb to 4.1 million
tons per year.
“This investment is a milestone for
CMPC, the largest in the company’s
history. The Guaíba 2 project will
almost double our market share of
global pulp and help us meet growing demand for high quality wood
pulp from clients in all our markets,”
said CMPC CEO Hernán Rodríguez.
The mill is 100% wood self-sufficient, and will lower CMPC’s average pulp cash cost.
The next steps at the project will
include the pre-operational chemical cleaning of the recovery boiler,
the steam blow of the pipe lines to
the turbogenerators, migration of
the control systems to the new control room, putting in operation a
chipping line in the woodyard and
continuing of the commissioning
activities in other systems.
Empresas CMPC produces pulp,
paper, tissue, paper, packaging
products and other forestry products throughout Latin America.

Paper and Board Market in Central
and Eastern Europe to Grow by 2%
Annually through 2019
Some 60 percent of paper and board in Central and Eastern Europe is used in packaging
applications and this portion is expected to increase to 2019.
The paper and board market in Central and Eastern
Europe is set to grow by
approximately 2% annually through 2019 in volume
terms, according to a new
study by Smithers Pira. The
industry was worth approximately $30 billion in 2013.
This was made up of about
19 million tonnes of raw
material that was converted
into some 18 million tonnes
of finished product.
Consumption of Paper and Board in
Central & Eastern Europe in 2013
Source: Smithers Pira
Strong Russian Demand
Russia currently dominates the market, with their demand representing
the largest share of this market by
country, accounting for over a quarter of the total volume. It is the political and economic trends in Russia
that appear to exert the greatest influence over this market. Whilst this
political uncertainty prevails, there
is reluctance amongst foreign investors to become too closely involved,
while elsewhere in the region investment in modern equipment is improving the general quality of production across the market.
A new study by Smithers Pira —
The Future of Paper and Board in
Central and Eastern Europe — shows
that around 60% of all paper and
board in this region is used in packaging applications and this proportion is expected to increase over the
five year review period to 2019. This
is being driven partly by organic
growth in packaging demand fed by
increasing retail sales — as a result
of higher disposable incomes — improving distribution infrastructure
and many demographic influences
that have a positive effect on packaging demand, from increasing urbanization and population growth,
through to aging populations and
growing health consciousness.
Internet Helping to Drive
Demand
The decline in demand for
newspapers, books, directories and stationery — largely
as a result of the adoption of
digital technology — is fortunately outweighed by the
burgeoning direct mail industry, also tied to the growth
in internet and mobile data
usage. Conversely, demand
for packaging is looking to
show sustained moderate growth of
3% annually from 2014-2019. This is
driven by growing demand for liquid packaging products, trends to
smaller pack sizes, increasing use of
retail ready packs, and other trends
which tend to stimulate packaging
demand, including retail and distribution infrastructure development.
This new report by Smithers Pira
shows demand for paper and board
in Central and Eastern Europe is set
to increase by just over 2 million
tonnes between 2014 and 2019, of
which over 85% will be in the form of
packaging products. This incremental demand will be worth nearly $4.2
billion to the industry at constant
2013 prices.
