Market Coverage Criteria
The Pulp, Paper and Wood Industry North American plant database currently includes approximately 3,000 operational plants. These are plants that produce various pulp, paper and wood products from raw materials or recycled feedstock. Virtually every operational North American Pulp and Paper mill is profiled in the database, as are major converting and board mills. Project reporting on major capital and maintenance spending activity is derived from this database and each project report represents a minimum total investment value of at $1 million.
