Etna. Oct 19, 2004 /Debbie Garcia, Forestweb/ Burrows Paper Corp. reportedly plans to permanently idle its deinked pulp mill in Little Falls, N.Y., at the end of this month, informed sources said. The 125-tpd mill was built in 1993 at a cost of $28 million. The company did not comment on the rumors. Market observers indicated that most of the mill's deinked pulp was sold on the market, although the output was originally to be used mostly internally. The facility was said to be "a financial drain," noted one source. This is not surprising given that similar fiscal difficulties have lead to the closure of many deinked pulp mills since the late 1990s. One of the chief cost concerns for the Burrows mill reportedly was furnish, which had become too expensive, especially as deinked pulp prices declined. The mill consumed such recovered paper grades as printed bleached kraft, white ledger, sorted office paper, coated book stock and possibly some poly grades, sources said.
