Mercer Peace River is actively implementing initiatives to reduce mill waste, focusing on strengthening operational excellence and maximizing fiber utilization. The company has identified key areas of fiber loss, energy inefficiencies, and equipment performance gaps through deeper tracking and cross-departmental coordination.
Significant progress has been made in fiber utilization by improving chip quality, optimizing digester conditions, and reducing variability in washing and screening processes. These measurable gains contribute to both environmental performance and cost efficiency.
The mill is also advancing its use of residuals, transforming bark and biomass into energy and exploring circular opportunities beyond the mill. This approach aligns with Mercer's broader vision of bioproduct innovation and resource efficiency, aiming to reduce fossil fuel reliance and lower the carbon footprint.
