FACILITY
The International Paper Springfield Mill manufactures linerboard which is sold to produce corrugated boxes and packaging containers. Linerboard manufactured at the facility is produced primarily from wood chips and recycled old, corrugated containers (OCC). The facility uses the Kraft pulping process to convert wood chips into unbleached virgin pulp. The facility also operates a 4-turbine electrical cogeneration power plant which supplies steam for pulp and linerboard production and produces electric power for sale. The facility is located at 801 42nd Street in east Springfield and has produced unbleached paper products since it began operating in 1949. The facility was owned and operated by Weyerhaeuser until 2008, when it was sold to International Paper.
