PCA receives Clean Air Award

June 15, 2007

The Wisconsin Partners for Clean Air recognized PCA's Tomahawk, WI mill for its efforts to improve air quality through environmental innovation. PCA received the award for a series of voluntary projects at its Tomahawk location that convert air pollutants into green energy biofuel. The biofuel is used on-site in lieu of virgin fossil fuel. This effort also reduces green house gas emissions by more than 70,000 tons per year.

The Wisconsin Partners for Clean Air (WPCA) program is a coalition of over 300 businesses, community organizations, schools and government agencies committed to improving air quality through voluntary action. WPCA educates Wisconsin businesses and residents on air quality issues and works to improve air quality and reduce harmful air emissions.
