We’re wrapping up an incredible week at the Alabama Center for Paper & Bioresource Engineering!
This week, we hosted Smurfit Westrock Mahrt Mill for our Pulp & Paper Fundamentals Workshop—a four-day experience combining hands-on labs, interactive lectures, and real-world insight into how paper is made.
Participants explored the full process—from wood fibers and pulping to papermaking, testing, and environmental considerations—while getting hands-on experience in our labs along the way.
From lab tours to networking and shared meals, it’s been a fast-paced and impactful week.
Thank you to the Smurfit Westrock team for your engagement and partnership—we love bringing industry and education together!
