NEWPRO set to reopen in 2016
NEWPRO was historically a manufacturer of particle board (also known as panel board) for use in international and domestic use in the construction industry. It was shuttered in January of 2014 and is now being retrofitted to become a state-of-the-art pellet manufacturing facility.
The repurposed facility will use wood waste from forestry cut blocks, lumber shavings, and sawdust that might otherwise be burned in open burning piles or wood boilers. The old style wood burning rotary dryers will be replaced with natural gas burning belt dryers which are much safer and efficient. This plant will be compliant with the Best Available Technology guidelines as outlined by the Ministry of Environment. The end result of this project will be a 94% reduction in particulate matter emissions compared to its previous operations.
