Green Bay Packaging mill on the Fox River in Wisconsin releases steam into the winter night sky.
Green Bay Packaging's recycled paper mill sits on the Fox River in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The company completed the $500 million facility in 2021, replacing a containerboard mill that had operated on the site for more than seven decades. The new mill was built to use recycled fiber as its primary raw material while cutting water and energy use compared to the plant it replaced. Green Bay Packaging is an employee-owned company that has operated in the city since 1933.

Winter Steam Over Green Bay Packaging’s Fox River Mill

Green Bay Packaging's modern paper mill on the Fox River in Wisconsin emits steam plumes into the winter night sky.
Green Bay Packaging's recycled paper mill sits along the Fox River in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The company completed this containerboard mill in 2021, replacing an older facility and consolidating production into a single advanced plant designed to cut water and energy use. The mill produces recycled containerboard used in corrugated packaging, drawing on the company's long history as a family-owned packaging manufacturer based in Green Bay. Steam from its process operations is a routine byproduct of papermaking, generated by the heat required to pulp and dry recycled fiber into new board.
