Kinleith Mill

Kinleith Mill - a paper and pulp mill, Waikato, New Zealand.

Kinleith Mill is a paper and pulp mill in the Waikato region of New Zealand. Chemicals are often used as part of the process in breaking down the wood into the fibre that is used to make paper. In the past, we weren’t aware of the harm these chemicals can have on the environment. Now, there are laws and guidelines in place to restrict the use of some chemicals and to ensure the chemicals we do use are disposed of safely.
