Aerial Spraying

In 1951, one pulp and paper company and the New Brunswick Government decided to try to prevent or at least lessen losses from the spruce budworm by aerial spraying of insecticide. Today, 33 years later, protection is still carried out, not with any thought to eradicating the pest, but rather to maintain the industrial base and the resulting employment. Without this protection, the forest products industry in New Brunswick would have suffered many mill closures – a catastrophe in a province where one job in seven depends on a healthy forest products industry.

Economic Ties

In 1972, west-central Canada's forest products industry of 691 establishments had gross sales of $300 million ($264 million net), and provided the equivalent of 5,900 full-time jobs directly and another 6,100 indirectly. More than two-thirds of the gross sales came from export, generating valuable foreign exchange earnings for Canada. Major products were 600,000 tonnes of pulp and paper, 431 million m2 of fibreboard, waferboard and plywood, 8 million pieces of pressure-treated products and more than 2 million m3 of lumber.Beyond these direct impacts were the secondary business activity and employment generated in other industries and sectors of the economy which had economic ties with the forest industry.

Capital Productivity

This paper presents labour productivity data for several wood product industries, namely sawmilling, veneer and plywood, millwork, pulp and paper, and wrapping paper and paperboard. They registered respective gains of 2.5, 8.0, 4.5, 2.8, and 3.75% per year over the period 1965–1972. Capital productivity studies for selected companies within the industry failed to show conclusive trends in the efficiency of capital. No correlation of gross capital and labour productivities was observed.

Abstract The two recently retired authors have a combined career experience of over 65 years in carrying out research directed at assessing effluent effects on marine and freshwater receiving waters. As such, their work directed at the environmental information needs of the forest products industry has represented a continually evolving research program. This paper reflects a history of issues and progress on pulp and paper mill effluent research before their careers began, the progression of issues and research during their careers, how questions have changed and evolved, and also looks forward to the remaining questions that need to be addressed concerning effluent effects.

Joint Treatment

The National Board of Waters in Finland has proposed a study on the joint treatment of industrial and municipal wastewaters of the City of Kotka. This study is of great interest due to the large forest products industry and food industry in Kotka. All of the wastewaters from the forest products and the food industry and the municipal sewage have been found to be suitable for biological treatment, which makes the joint treatment applicable. An activated sludge process is selected because it takes advantage of the large amount of nutrients in the municipal sewage and it has proved to be the most efficient treatment method for forest industry wastewaters. However, municipal wastewater contains more nutrients than needed for the biological process, which can cause eutrophication problems in the watercourse. To reduce the pollution caused by the nutrients, chemical treatment of the wastewater is also proposed in the joint treatment. It was concluded that the joint treatment of wastewater is economically, technically and environmentally the best way to arrange wastewater treatment for the industry and the city.
