History

Since commencing production in 1998 with a 200,000 tonnes kraftliner machine, Nine Dragons has expanded to producing over 13 million tonnes of paper products globally.

While many mills globally use forest products for paper production, Nine Dragons primarily uses recycled paper as the raw material source. The company recycles over 10 million tonnes of fiber annually.

Today, the company employs over 15,000 employees globally with 9 manufacturing hubs. Notably, the company's Dongguan facility is the world's largest concentrated paper mill with 15 paper machines producing 5.25 million tonnes of products. Many of Nine Dragons' facilities are also supported with in-house power plants, ports, and trucking. The company has power capacity of over 1,400 MW at various production facilities combined.

Investigations

Nine Dragons has been investigated by the media in Toronto over poor working conditions in the mills handling paper collected in the recycling program in Toronto.[3] Brokers working for the City of Toronto government's Toronto Solid Waste Management have been sending paper collected to Nine Dragon mills in Dongguan.
