Columbia Pulp
Starbuck/Dayton
Its proprietary “Phoenix Process” allows Columbia
Pulp to turn waste wheat straw into valuable raw
material for sustainable paper and packaging
products. It will also bring more than 100 full-time
jobs to rural southeast Washington.
The plant was still under construction
when the Manufacturing Week tour
visited, but the excitement was palpable
as this revolutionary plant prepared to
turn straw into gold by transforming
waste wheat stalks into a valuable non-
wood fiber resource. Columbia Pulp also
received a Manufacturing Excellence
award.
