The legislation must be approved by Michigan’s Governor, which is expected to occur within two weeks.

A pre-feasibility study about Billerud’s planned conversion of the Escanaba mill to paperboard production is ongoing and planned to be completed during the first half of 2023, after which the company’s Board of Directors can make an investment decision.
