pulpmill
Wood fiber processor
A pulpmill is a factory that converts wood or other plant fibers into pulp—the raw material for paper, cardboard, and similar products.
The process typically involves chemical or mechanical breakdown of wood chips.
Pulpmills are often located near forests and waterways, and are associated with distinctive sulfurous odors: You could smell the pulpmill from miles away.
