Pratt Industries Opens Sixth 100% Recycled Paper Mill and State-of-the-Art Box Plant

Pratt Industries, Inc. today officially opened its $700 million 100% recycled paper mill and corrugated box factory in Henderson, Kentucky. It is the most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly paper mill ever built and will save the equivalent of 25,000 trees every day – more trees than are in New York City’s Central Park.

“This is a very proud day for our company because this investment represents a major part of my recent pledge to the United States Ambassador to Australia, Caroline Kennedy, to invest $5 billion in recycling and clean energy infrastructure in the U.S. over the next 10 years,” said Pratt Executive Chairman, Anthony Pratt.

“This will help reduce landfill, cut methane gas emissions, and create green collar American manufacturing jobs as championed by President Biden.”

Pratt now has assets invested in America to the value of $12 billion and has created 12,000 American green manufacturing jobs.
