Georgia Tech's CPBIS shows U.S. Pulp and Paper Mills On-line

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, June 4, 2004 --The Center for Paper Business and Industry Studies at Georgia Tech (CPBIS) has recently made available to researchers of the Pulp and Paper industry, data sets about all the existing Pulp and Paper mills within the U.S. The data displayed cover mill location, type of mill, mill owner, operating status in 2004, tonnage, type of products, recovery boiler information and various county statistical parameters.

This information is freely accessible at: http://www.cpbis.gatech.edu/millsonline

This tool is truly unique not only since this type of information is available on-line, but also because it was checked for accuracy from multiple data sources instead of a single source. For more details, please click here.

We hope that you will take a moment to look at it and that it will prove useful to you, and that maybe you will tell us how this tool could be improved as we intend to continue developing it. This tool stemmed from one of the CPBIS research projects "An External Benefits Study of Black Liquor Gasification" and extensive information about the portfolio of CPBIS research projects can be viewed at: http://www.cpbis.gatech.edu/research/projects/index.htm
