ND Paper plans to restart PM 25 at Biron Mill in Wisconsin

ND Paper plans to re-start PM 25 at our Biron, WI mill. This machine was idled in April of 2024. With the successful conversion of PM 26 at Biron to recycled packaging and the growing demand for ND Paper’s packaging products, the capacity of PM 25 will be back to ND paper portfolio.

The machine was rebuilt in 2019 and will be capable of making recycled containerboard and recycled kraft paper. This will add additional capacity to the existing recycled packaging product portfolio when the machine starts up in the 2nd half of 2025.

ND Paper currently offers 30# – 70# Recycled Kraft, 23# – 35# Recycled Liner and Recycled Medium. The 100% recycled furnish is supplied by a newly built 1,400-ton OCC pulping facility and a newly build 700-ton OCC pulping facility.

The mill has made recycled packaging since PM 25 was converted from coated publication papers in 2018. PM 26 was converted from coated publication papers in 2022. Biron has established itself as a reliable, quality producer in packaging grades.
