Recycling Management Resources, a paper recycling operation with locations throughout the South, has announced plans to open a paper recycling facility in Barton, Alabama, about one mile away from SCA’s tissue mill. Reece Whitley, a managing partner with RMR, says the new location, the sixth for the company, is an ideal spot to serve the tissue mill.

Whitley says that at the present time the company already is the primary supplier to the tissue mill. “We are a large shipper to that plant,” he notes. Our reason for building the facility there is to supply the mill with recovered fiber, including both sorted office waste and old corrugated, the two primary grades the mill consumes.

RMR has taken over a 50,000-square-foot idled plant and has added another 20,000 square feet to the facility, which will give the company enough size to meet its requirements. According to local reports, RMS will invest around $1.8 million on the plant. An added feature to the new plant is it will have direct access to a rail line. The plant also will have guillotine roll cutters, shredders and a baler.

While Whitley says the company is highly concentrated with paper, it will have a couple of sort lines to mine some of the materials, notably OCC, that they may come across.

While the company has already been supplying a sizable amount of fiber to SCA, the new location, one mile from the mill, will sharply reduce the transportation costs for the mill.

To assist with the project, Colbert County (Alabama) Commissioners have approved an education tax abatement for the company that is expected to help the company provide up to 23 jobs within three years.
