Legislation and Sourcing US Paper
Paper and paper products have never been imported to the U.S. in such high numbers, and domestic paper buyers are deluged with offers from foreign paper manufacturers. This creates confusion for the whole industry in light of recent new Made in America preference policies.
We are not sure how these policies will impact projects funded by the government – including indirect paper purchases, but we’ve created this white paper to shed light on the recent federal laws requiring that purchase decisions consider Made in America requirements and to make some recommendations to domestic paper buyers who must be mindful of compliance, and may wish to incorporate buying American to meet these requirements.
As one of a handful of American paper manufacturing companies and the only paper mill west of the Mississippi River producing both coated and uncoated printing and writing-grade papers, Willamette Falls Paper Company is uniquely positioned to supply projects that fall under these new requirements.
