Bob, Arbokem is a company that is making small amounts of paper from 45%
agri-pulp, 43% post-consumer waste paper, and 12% calcium carbonate filler.
Their processing is acid-free, totally chlorine free, and totally effluent
free. Their dissolved straw and spent processing chemicals can be returned
to the field as fertilizer. They have one mill in Canada, but are seeking
$30 million to expand into California (rice fields) and become really
viable. See http:\\www.agripulp.com, or call (604) 322-1317. The owner is
Al Wong.
