Domtar Sustainability: Simple Idea. Big Savings

How do you heat more with less? Reuse the heat you have.

That is what our Rothschild, Wisconsin, mill did by installing a heat exchanger to warm incoming process water with outgoing process water. The idea is simple. Instead of being lost to the wastewater treatment plant, some of the heat from the outgoing water is captured and sent back into the mill.

Domtar Named Finalist for Environmental Leadership Award
Domtar, a leading provider of a wide variety of wood-fiber products, is proud to be named a finalist for the Pulp and Paper International (PPI) 2017 Environmental Leadership Award for its groundbreaking work to increase responsible forestry. The company’s creation of the Four States Timberland Owners Association (FSTOA) by its Ashdown, Arkansas mill has resulted in an incredibly successful model that Domtar hopes can be replicated by the industry.

Save the Food Takes Guess Work (And Waste) out of Thanksgiving Planning

Each year consumers spend $218 billion on food that ends up going to waste. And, about $277 million of that waste will happen during Thanksgiving — when Americans begin to plan, purchase and prepare lavish meals which usually result in leftovers that ultimately end up in the trash. Now, two organizations have partnered to create an easy-to-use innovation that curbs food waste while making holiday cooking a little bit easier.
