THE COMEBACK MILL - Documentary Short
In Maine, where paper mills have long been central to communities, an architect and chemist embark on a multimillion-dollar project to repurpose a closed paper mill in Madison, transforming it into a wood fiber insulation manufacturing facility over four years. This innovative initiative not only revitalizes the mill but also introduces a pioneering venture in North America for sustainable building materials.
