JEONJU MILL It’s not an overstatement to say that the 40-year history of Jeonju Mill represents the history of Korean paper industry. It is the third largest in the world in terms of newsprint production capacity, capable of producing 850,000 tonnes of paper per year. It can recycle 2,500 tonnes of waste paper streams per day, operates the largest DIP production capacity in the world, and is the only mill in Korea that is able to produce thermo-mechanical pulp. In the Jeonju area, the Jeonju Mill is also recognized as a model plant

after being designated as a Environmentally Friendly Company by the Ministry of Environment of Korea in 1995. CHEONGWON MILL Located in Cheongwon, Chungcheongbuk-do, Cheongwon Mill started its operation in 1996 and has a newsprint production capacity of 180,000 tonnes per year. Despite being a single-line facility, its high production efficiency was recognized as being world-class by Metso, a global paper machine manufacturer. Furthermore, because the mill is surrounded by farmland, the 140 Cheongwon employees take extra measures to run an eco-conscious operation. As a result of such continued efforts, the Cheongwon Mill has been designated as an Environmentally Friendly Company by the Ministry of Environment of Korea since 2002.

Jeonju Paper practices eco-friendly operations, starting from production process to environment protection activities. As the leader in the field of eco-friendly operation, Jeonju Paper uses the Health, Environment, Safety (HES) Program to evaluate and improve each mill’s operation. In addition, Jeonju Paper follows ISO 14000 standard to minimize the impact to the environment. Through all these efforts, Jeonju Paper was designated as an Environmentally-Friendly Company by the Ministry of Environment. Jeonju Paper is promoting the usage of new and renewable sources of energy and is doing so by leading by example. Since 2006 Jeonju Paper has invested in constructing a biomass power plant that produces energy by incinerating waste wood, trash, food, and defective products. Biomass is eco-friendly energy source replacing fossil fuel that reduces carbon emissions and wastes by replacing fossil fuel. Furthermore, Jeonju Paper strives to manufacture high quality recycled paper through constant research and development. We also are running paper recycling campaign wherein we provide recycled notebooks in return for paper wastes that local residents bring in. Our goal is to become at the forefront of environmentalism, by participating in neighborhood clean-ups with local residents as well as planting wild plants on mill yards.
Implementation of eco-friendly operations is the most important investment and preparation for the future.
