Procter & Gamble Corp.'s Green Bay paper mill and Neenah Paper Inc., which has operations in Neenah and Stevens Point, received awards for energy efficiency projects today.
"The innovation of these leading companies is making the industry more energy efficient while remaining a vital part of our state's economy," Gov. Jim Doyle said in a statement.
According to Doyle's office, Procter & Gamble's project involved construction of a new energy-efficient machine that makes tissue paper using 19% less natural gas and electricity than most modern machines.
Neenah Paper won for improvements to its wastewater treatment facility, preventing the release of 1,260 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
The governor's awards were made at the Wisconsin Paper Council's annual meeting in Neenah.
The awards are sponsored by Focus on Energy and CleanTech Partners Inc.
Wisconsin has been the nation's leading paper maker since 1953.
