Renaissance Mill


After a paper mill in Oregon closed abruptly, a venture capitalist swooped in, bought the place, and reopened it as the first paper mill in the United States to produce paper using wheat pulp. Through a partnership between a pulp plant in Washington state, the Willamette Falls Paper Company is using the leftover material from wheat farmers to turn it into a product that reduces agricultural waste, carbon emissions, and the need to cut down trees.
