Property Features
In 1963, Kress merged the company with the Green Bay Pulp & Paper Company, which was established in 1948, to form Green Bay Packaging, Inc. George Kress saw that the Green Bay Packaging mill in Green Bay was the first in the industry to practice zero-discharge of processing wastewaters. During the mid-1970s, Green Bay Packaging became the first to practice the use of totally effluent-free pulping in its Green Bay mill. Still under management of the Kress family, Green Bay Packaging remains a leader in environmentally-conscious manufacturing practices to this day.
