Old Town paper mill is an American paper factory in Old Town, Maine.
Originally a saw mill, the factory was founded in 1860 and converted into a paper mill in 1882. Operations ceased in 2015 and restarted in 2018 when the plant was purchased by Nine Dragons Paper Holdings Limited subsidiary ND Paper. Activities stopped in 2023, amidst rising energy and pulp costs.
When operating, the mill's effluent was emitted into the Penobscot River, a source of fish for the Penobscot Indian Nation. The nation has been advised to limit fish consumption since 1987. The mill contaminated the river with sodium hydroxide in 2020 and 2022.
