WESTVACO CORP. WINS ENVIRONMENTAL AWARDS

Westvaco Corp., which operates a major paperboard mill at Covington, has been given two of the paper industry's top environmental and energy awards.

Westvaco was recognized for its research and use of methods to reduce the formation and discharge of dioxin and chloroform at its paper mills in Covington; Luke, Md., and Wickliffe, Ky.

Westvaco's energy award was for a sludge dewatering process that allows its paper mill in Charleston, S.C., to use all of its sludge as fuel.

It is the ninth time Westvaco has been honored since the awards program of the American Paper Institute/National Forest Products Association was begun.
