High-Performance Containerboard

Domtar’s premium, 100% recycled performance liner and medium deliver exceptional strength with less fiber, helping you create high‑performance packaging that supports your sustainability goals. 

The Independent Converter's Choice

Domtar is dedicated to true partnerships with independent corrugated converters, strengthening your business and driving success. At Domtar, we are committed to helping independent converters win in the marketplace. The fact that we don’t own or operate box plants, sheet plants, or sheetfeeders means that we have your best interests in mind. Our goal is to serve you, not compete with you. 

Closed-Loop Circularity

At Domtar’s Kingsport mill, yesterday’s boxes become tomorrow’s packaging. Each year, we convert nearly 700,000 tons  of recovered paper (primarily OCC, old corrugated containers) into high performance, 100% recycled containerboard—closing the loop and giving fiber a longer life.

Domtar's Kingsport Mill

Domtar’s entry into the packaging business began with the decision in 2020 to convert our Kingsport, Tennessee, paper mill to manufacture packaging materials made from 100% recycled content. Today the mill can produce approximately 600,000 tons of high-quality, recycled linerboard and corrugated medium annually.

Why Choose our 100% Recycled Containerboard?

Exceptional performance using less fiber

With product properties that include a high strength-to-basis weight ratio, Domtar’s 100% recycled linerboard and corrugating medium are optimized for great performance even at lighter weights. 

Domtar’s first 100% recycled containerboard mill

In 2023, we transformed our Kingsport, Tennessee, mill from a virgin uncoated freesheet facility into a 100% recycled containerboard operation. This process uses minimal chemicals and 70% less water.
