I was a steam plant operator in a mill very much like that one. We made coated paper. Very interesting process!

We live in Scotland UK , there was a lot of papermaking in our area for about 250 years. Best wishes to all the men & women at West Linn and all other papermill communities in the world.

Many different typesof trees are used at this mill they use both hardwoods,softwoods and Post Consumer waste (recycle)

[Neirizz]

What tree do they use in paper making? can somebody please tell me?

[MrBerryBlueTwist]

@Neirizz Euclyptus trees are pretty common in paper making. I think they use all sorts though. I know hemp is also getting to be more common now.

[Neirizz]

@MrBerryBlueTwist Do you know the so called 'paper tree?' (Scientific name: Gmelina arborea) Is it still used today for paper making?

I worked in a paper mill for smurfit-stone in La-Tuque Québec Canada, this mill produce over 450 000 ton of paper by year, it's very hot in the mill and high level of humidity, in winter too. The paper machine 3 is the biggest in the world in 1957...now it's the chineses, and here we losing jobs.
