Covering one million square feet, or the equivalent of about 13 football fields, Kruger Recycling\u2019s new operational centre will ensure a stable fibre supply for the containerboard mill, while reducing transportation-related GHG emissions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe already recycle 100% of the paper and paperboard collected from residential blue bins in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res,\u201d explains St\u00e9phanie Bouchard, General Manager, Recycled Fibres and Biomass, at Kruger Recycling. \u201cThe new site will be used to consolidate operations near our main customer, the Trois-Rivi\u00e8res Containerboard Mill, and to further develop our collection route with businesses and stores, which will make the region an important recycling hub in Qu\u00e9bec.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Strategically located at the entrance to the city and near busy highway corridors, the site will receive recycled material from Mauricie and other regions in Qu\u00e9bec, as well as from eastern Ontario and the northern United States. Kruger is a recycling pioneer as it has been manufacturing 100% recycled containerboard and ecofriendly packaging since the early 1960s. In 2017, the Company invested more than $250M in its manufacturing facility on Gene H.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kruger Boulevard to modernize its operations and give it a new future in the growing sector of 100% recycled lightweight and high-strength linerboard. The development of the new recycled materials storage facility is another step towards vertically integrating Kruger\u2019s operations in Qu\u00e9bec, ensuring optimal management of its recycled fibre supply. The Trois-Rivi\u00e8res Containerboard Mill alone recycles annually 450,000 tonnes of paper and <span style=\"color: #b58468;\"><a style=\"color: #b58468;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corrugman.com\/kruger-invests-16m-to-boost-recycling-in-trois-rivieres\/\">old corrugated containers<\/a><\/span> (OCC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remaining focused on its vision of sustainable economic development, Kruger is on track to develop a new storage facility that will position Trois-Rivi\u00e8res as a major circular economy hub in Qu\u00e9bec.
