Clearwater Paper is recognized as a leading manufacturer and supplier of Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) paperboard packaging products, serving independent converters throughout North America. We participate in the North American paperboard market, which encompasses approximately 10 million tons and is divided into three principal substrates, each offering a diverse array of applications. SBS constitutes nearly fifty percent of the market, while Coated Unbleached Kraft (CUK) and Coated Recycled Board (CRB) comprise the remaining substrates. The paperboard products produced are inherently sustainable, aligning with prevailing trends that favor renewable and recyclable materials. We believe we are strategically positioned to benefit from the increasing emphasis on sustainability within the industry. We produce paperboard that is then converted and printed by independent converters and primarily used in folding carton and food service applications.
