Domtar Corporation have just announced a plan to optimize fluff pulp manufacturing at its Plymouth mill. The streamlining measures will strengthen the mill's position in the global fluff pulp markets.

dom logoThe restructuring, which is expected to be completed by mid-2017, includes the permanent closure of the small pulp dryer and idling of related assets, in addition to a workforce reduction of approximately 100 positions. The streamlining process will also right-size the mill to an annualized production target of approximately 380,000 metric tons of fluff pulp. The Plymouth mill will continue to produce LighthouseTM Fluff, the benchmark grade for high-quality fluff pulp.

"This action at Plymouth along with the start-up of fluff pulp production at Ashdown will optimize Domtar's fluff pulp manufacturing network and strengthen our position in the growing fluff-pulp market," said Domtar President and Chief Executive Officer John D. Williams. "We remain committed to the Plymouth mill, where we have made significant investments in the past several years. These changes will prepare the mill for long-term, sustainable success."

Fluff pulp is bleached softwood cellulose fiber used worldwide in absorbent applications such as baby diapers, feminine hygiene and adult incontinence products.

Immediately following the re-launch, the site saw a 300 percent increase in both site visits and the amount of time users spent using the tool.

"The Paper Trail empowers people to see the impact of their purchase in an interesting, easy-to-understand way," said Paige Goff, Vice President, Sustainability and Business Communications at Domtar. "The Paper Trail provides assurance that by buying responsibly-crafted paper, you are making a truly environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable choice."

The Paper Trail also assesses Domtar's community investments by tracking charitable donations and volunteer efforts, such as recycling programs or educational initiatives. Additionally, it demonstrates the paper industry's local economic, as Domtar employs nearly 9,000 people across North America and contributes billions to local and regional economies.

The PPI Awards are held each year to recognize the achievements of companies, mills, and individuals in the pulp and paper sector.

Report Highlights Company's Progress Towards Sustainable Business Roadmap

dom logoDomtar Corporation has released its 2015 Sustainability Report providing insight into the company's priorities, and outlining opportunities on the journey towards becoming a more sustainable business.  The report reinforces Domtar's commitments and provides longer-term context for its decisions and activities, while revealing the connectivity between the two.

"Sustainability at Domtar shapes our decisions and optimizes our performance," explained John D. Williams, Domtar's president and CEO.

  • 52% reduction in the recordable safety incident rate since 2008.
  • 23% reduction in waste sent to landfills from Domtar's pulp and paper mills, and avoided landfilling materials equivalent to the weight of almost two Empire State Buildings since 2013.
  • Sold the five-millionth ton of Forest Stewardship Council® certified paper in 2014, a first for the North American market.
  • $1.35 million donated in community investments throughout 2014.

dom logoTo underscore how great work typically starts on paper, Domtar Corporation (NYSE: UFS) (TSX: UFS) released a video that shows how comic fans got to meet one of the industry's founding fathers at the recent Comic-Con International.

The film shows a massive 8-foot sheet of paper interacting with fans at Comic-Con, which started as a showcase for comic books and has become one of the world's largest pop culture events. More than 130,000 fans gathered in San Diego, and paper became an instant hit.

Fans - many of whom dressed as aliens, superheroes and characters from movies, television shows and comic books - drew sketches and wrote notes on the giant paper, dancing with it and taking selfies.

"This is a fun way to remind people that this popular event hinges on great work that began with paper as an integral part of the creative process," said Paige Goff, Domtar's vice president of Sustainability and Business Communications. "That's why we used the hashtag #StartedOnPaper. Many of the best comic books, posters and movie scripts have always stemmed from the creativity, imagination, fantasy, adventure and entertainment that originate on paper."

The paper character was created by the company that designed Iron Man, and it used Google Glass technology to allow the person inside to see. Some comic book fans considered it to be one of the most notable things at the show.

The video marks the latest effort in Domtar's award-winning PAPERbecause campaign, which was developed by Eric Mower + Associates to showcase the effectiveness and sustainability of paper. Since its launch in 2010, PAPERbecause has been profiled in The New York Times, featured on the front page of USA Today, and, last month, it won a Silver Lion at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which is considered the world's most prestigious annual advertising and communications award honoring marketing excellence.

Today's release is the latest video in a series that has been viewed more than half a million times on YouTube. It's also the second time PAPERbecause has focused on comic books.

In 2012, Domtar ran this vintage-style print ad in a special issue of Newsweek, showing a boy dressed as a superhero and reading a comic book, while his mother proudly watches. The message: while entertainment options may have changed, people still enjoy reading on paper. An online poll of readers honored the ad as the best in the magazine.

"With PAPERbecause, we've used humor and creativity, we've highlighted environmental stewardship, and we've even developed an app that helps teachers and students," Goff said. "All of it is to emphasize an important point. When you make paper the right way, it's environmentally sound. And even in a digital age, it continues to play a vital role in our lives."

dom logoDomtar Corporation (NYSE: UFS) (TSX: UFS) has announced an investment by Schlumberger in CelluForce, a joint venture between Domtar and FPInnovations that manufactures wood-derived nanocrystalline cellulose (NCCTM). The investment is a collaboration to explore the use of NCC to enhance the productivity of oil and gas wells. Schlumberger is the world's leading supplier of technology, integrated project management and information solutions to the oil and gas industry.

NCC is manufactured using a patented process in the world's first facility of its kind, located at Domtar's pulp mill in Windsor, Quebec.

Details of Schlumberger's investment in CelluForce remain confidential.

This investment follows a CDN$4 million grant announced by CelluForce in February 2015 from the government of Canada's sustainable development technology program (Sustainable Development Technology Canada, or SDTC) for similar research and development work.

"Innovation is one of our core values at Domtar, so we are pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with Schlumberger, a recognized technology innovator in hydrocarbon recovery and production," said Patrick Loulou, Domtar's Senior Vice President for Corporate Development and a member of CelluForce's board of directors.

dom logoDomtar Corporation (NYSE: UFS) (TSX: UFS) has announced significant updates to The Paper Trail®, its award-winning interactive tool that helps customers trace the impacts of their paper purchases. The totally renovated site includes social and economic information in addition to environmental data, broadening the meaning of sustainability. It represents Domtar's belief that businesses should operate transparently, pulling back the curtain on their operations and the resulting impacts.

With the latest additions, The Paper Trail (www.domtarpapertrail.com) now showcases the people and places behind the products, featuring stories and photos from all 13 of Domtar's North American mills. The tool assesses Domtar's community investments by tracking charitable donations and volunteer efforts, such as recycling programs or educational initiatives. It also demonstrates the paper industry's impact on the economy, as Domtar employs nearly 9,000 people across the United States and Canada. In doing so, The Paper Trail helps both businesses and consumers understand the holistic impact of their purchases.

"Since first introducing The Paper Trail in 2011, our thinking has continued to evolve regarding what sustainability encompasses," said Paige Goff, Vice President of Sustainability and Business Communication. "The new site embraces all three legs of the 'sustainability stool' by assessing not only our environmental footprint, but our social and economic impact as well. It demonstrates Domtar's commitment to the towns we operate in - not only as an environmental advocate, but also as a driver of community initiatives and a creator of thousands of jobs."

The Paper Trail provides gate-to-gate impact estimates for Domtar products across five environmental categories: fiber, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water, renewable energy and waste. It provides relevant context by illustrating how Domtar compares to the rest of the industry in these categories and, importantly, highlights areas for improvement in addition to showcasing what Domtar is doing well.

"The Paper Trail illustrates many of the complex issues we carefully consider when evaluating opportunities to improve our performance," said Brian Kozlowski, Senior Manager, Sustainability Performance Optimization. "We've used the tool to display mill sustainability data in an interesting and interactive way - and we're inviting the public to come along on the journey."

In addition to providing social and economic data, The Paper Trail also:

  • Includes an expanded list of responsibly produced paper grades, representing the entire EarthChoice® Product Line
  • Displays histories, pictures and stories from all 13 of Domtar's North American pulp and paper mills
  • Offers users personalized impact report options with broader sustainability information, including topics of interest such as bleaching processes used and tree species utilized
  • Is optimized for use on all smartphone, tablet and desktop devices
  • Uses Google Maps to create a geographic trail to the closest mill that produces a select paper grade

With these improvements in place, The Paper Trail offers a clear and complete answer to the question "where does my paper come from?" It goes beyond environmental data to show customers how their purchase of North American paper can create a positive ripple effect on local communities.

"We can't always promise perfection, but we believe our customers deserve transparency. That's a promise we will always deliver - and it's the reason we created The Paper Trail in the first place." said Goff. "Now, consumers can also take pride in the fact they're helping to drive philanthropic efforts and create jobs across North America when they purchase from Domtar."
