Domtar Corp. unveiled a new plant at its Plymouth mill on Friday that turns a key byproduct of paper production into what the Canadian company hopes will be a valuable commodity he $30 million plant separates lignin, the organic glue in a tree that binds wood cellulose fibers together, so that it can be converted into solid form and used as an alternative to fossil fuels, a carbon product or a natural adhesive. The facility and lignin separation methods are part of Domtar?s effort to become more sustainable and identify new markets for its products.
