Neenah Paper to be Featured on History Channel’s ‘Modern Marvels’ Program

Using a patented and award-winning method, 5,000 tons of sludge from all of the company’s paper brands is converted to steam, electricity and glass aggregate every year. The primary purpose of this recycling process is to reduce the load on landfills, which carries out a corporate environmental directive. Neenah then purchases the steam back to dry paper during manufacturing and also to heat its Neenah, Wis., mill. The company projects that using this “Green Steam” will reduce its natural gas consumption by 80 percent annually.
