For many paper producers, going sustainable is less an option than a necessity. An example: In 2006, Smart Papers, a Wisconsin-based paper mill, closed due to shrinking demand. According to BusinessNorth, a paper covering business news in the region, when the mill reopened as Flambeau River Papers, its new ownership invested some $25 million in technological and efficiency upgrades. It also constructed an adjacent facility for producing renewable biodiesel fuel that would power the mill. While the company has had a tough road to full recovery (the 2008 economic crash hampered the redevelopment process), BusinessNorth notes that the mill employs 325 staff members and has paid more than $90 million in wages since its reopening.
