Pratt Industries, Conyers, Ga., USA, this week reported that its Conyers mill has made its 6 millionth ton of 100% recycled paper. The Conyers facility, the first Pratt-built mill in the U.S., reached the landmark number on July 24, some 18 years after startup. Ironically, the 6 millionth ton was 26-lb.—as was the first ton back in 1995.
Since then, the mill notes, its recycling has saved the equivalent of more than 100 million trees and prevented 480 million truck loads of discarded paper from possibly going to landfill.
Pratt CEO Brian McPheely extended a company-wide "well done" to the Conyers team. "This is another great day for both Pratt Industries and all of the people who have worked at the mill over the years," he said. "Congratulations to you all. Wow! More than 6 million tons of paper—well done and thank you!"
Mill manager Allen Bowdler echoed those sentiments, saying the milestone was a tribute to hard work and dedication. "This type of achievement is a reflection of the dedication and effort put forth by all of the Pratt Paper 12 team members, past and present," he said. "It's my honor to have been part of this team and I couldn't be more proud of all those who contributed."
More information about the 6 millionth ton at Conyers is available online.
Just a month ago, Conyers' sister mill in New York City celebrated the production of its 5 millionth ton. More information about this achievement is also available online.
