MISSION STATEMENT
Employees at all levels throughout the organization, working together to reduce injuries by building safety
awareness and controlling hazards.
SUSTAINABILITY 2015 IN ACTION In 2010, Kruger Products launched Sustainability 2015, our five-year initiative to reduce our environmental impact.
In 2009, we installed our award-winning biomass gasification system. This is the first of its kind in Canada and the entire pulp and paper industry. It uses locally-sourced wood waste, thereby diverting it from landfill, and heats it into a syngas, which replaces natural gas. This process is lowering the facility’s GHG emissions by 50% annually which is equivalent to removing 5,500 cars from roads or planting three million trees.
RECOGNITION The plant’s biomass gasification technology, which became operational in December 2009, has been recognized by several national and international organizations:
Winner,CIPECLeadershipAwardintheareaofProcessTechnology&Improvements(2011)
Winner,BritishColumbiaTechnologyIndustryAssociationawardforBestApplicationofTechnology–toNexterraSystemsCorporation(2010)
