when you choose a recycled paper from Neenah’s large selection of post consumer fiber paper options.
The new EnviroCalculator allows you to create a personalized, customizable and printable report, recording
each project for future reference. New features include:
Sample Reports

Each calculation is saved to a customized report that includes the client/
customer’s name, project name and a detailed listing of the Neenah Paper
selections, including the brand chosen. Writing, Text or Cover choice;
paper weight, color, and percentage of post consumer waste are all listed,
as well as the environmental savings achieved. Applicable green logos for

Neenah's Waste Reduction/Water Recycling
Neenah Paper has found several ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle the water from
the manufacturing processes at our three Wisconsin mills. Prior to being returned
to the river, the water goes through a world-class wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)
for clarification. Neenah Paper has found a beneficial reuse for the waste from each
of our treatment plant facilities. These include:
BLUE arrows = Normal Water Flow

BLUE & GREEN arrows = Recycled Water Flow
= Paper Broke, Sludge & Mill Waste to be Recycled
RIVER WATER

The Whiting mill sends its WWTP sludge to Cranberry Creek as beneficial reuse daily cover.
