<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Cascades Kamloops is a pulp mill located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The plant is part of the larger Cascades Group, which specializes in the manufacturing of packaging and tissue products. <\/p>\n

History and Background <\/strong> <\/p>\n

The current facility was built in 1957 by the Norpac Milling Company. It has undergone several expansions and modernizations over the years to improve efficiency and capacity. In 1992, the mill changed ownership when it was acquired by the Kruger Inc. company. In 2014, Cascades cascadekamloopscasino.ca<\/a> Group acquired the Kruger’s assets, including Kamloops pulp mill. <\/p>\n

Production Process <\/strong> <\/p>\n

The primary production process at Cascades Kamloops involves the manufacture of containerboard products. The plant receives wood chips from local suppliers and processes them into bleached Kraft pulp (BKP). This BKP is then converted into linerboard and medium-grade recycled fiber (MGRF) for packaging applications. <\/p>\n

One notable aspect of the facility’s operations is its use of integrated systems to optimize energy consumption and reduce waste. For example, the plant incorporates a sophisticated chemical recovery system that recycles organic chemicals from spent liquor and converts them back into their original state. This innovative approach enhances resource efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. <\/p>\n

Product Portfolio <\/strong> <\/p>\n

The pulp mill primarily focuses on producing containerboard products for various applications: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Linerboard <\/strong> : Manufactured using bleached Kraft pulp (BKP), this product serves as a packaging material. <\/li>\n
  2. Medium-grade recycled fiber (MGRF) <\/strong> : Also known by the commercial name “Linergy”, it’s designed for medium-density corrugated containers, folding cartons, and other specialty applications. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These products cater to various industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, and retail, among others. The demand for these materials is influenced by consumer spending patterns and trends in packaging. <\/p>\n

    Business Operations <\/strong> <\/p>\n

    To optimize production efficiency and maintain quality control standards, Cascades Kamloops operates within an integrated logistics system: <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Supply Chain Management <\/strong> : Coordinated planning of raw material inputs from local suppliers to minimize transportation costs. <\/li>\n
    2. Material Handling <\/strong> : Employing advanced mechanical handling systems for pulp processing ensures consistent fiber quality. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Sustainable Practices and Certification <\/strong> <\/p>\n

      Cascapes Kamloops has implemented sustainable practices that contribute to its environmental certifications: <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System (EMS) certification <\/strong> : Ensures adherence to standards that define an EMS framework, addressing the company’s strategic commitment to minimizing waste. <\/li>\n
      2. Chain of Custody (CoC) <\/strong> : Maintains chain-of-custody records for all packaging materials produced at its facility, ensuring compliance with sustainability-driven product labeling. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        These efforts align with Cascades Group’s broader mission to foster sustainable operations within each manufacturing site and provide a foundation for ongoing improvement in the industry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
