SMART Papers, Hamilton, Ohio, has begun construction on a new $30 million high-efficiency energy co-generation facility at its manufacturing center, marking an important first for the North American papermaking industry. By early 2009, SMART Papers will produce all of its own power and begin a transition to 100 percent cellulosic biomass fuel. By late 2009, said company officials, all products will be fully carbon neutral and produced 100 percent fossil-fuel free. SMART Papers said its products will be carbon-neutral because its manufacturing center will be powered by 100 percent biomass—primarily yard waste, as well as industrial wood and fiber waste.
