now that’s a millugator!
Pratt Industries is headquartered in Conyers, home of the world’s first Millugator - a combination paper mill and box plant, as well as a state-of-the-art display center at our Conyers campus. Ours is the only company in the world to bring the corrugated process full circle, under one roof. The start-to-finish control makes us the industry’s low-cost producer of corrugated materials - with a flexibility that is unsurpassed.
More than 20 years ago Pratt Industries came to Conyers PRatt FaCtS:
Clean Energy Plant
State of the art machinery
• Everyday Pratt recycles 3000 tons of recovered paper. • Everyday, we save the equivalent of 50,000 trees, 12 million gallons of water, and 8 million KwHrs of energy. • Everyday we produce enough 100% recycled paper to stretch 2500 miles-more than the distance from atlanta to Los angeles • Every ton of paper we divert from landfill prevents 1.2 tons of greenhouse emissions into the atmosphere, or 1.2 million tons a year. • Landfills account for more than 3% of all GHG emissions-more than global aviation-because as things decay in the landfill, they emit methane-which is 20 times more harmful to the atmosphere than CO2. • The first of our proposed 4 clean energy plants reduces our carbon footprint by a further 100,000 tons a year.
