W.A. Chip & Pulp Co. Pty Ltd is a Western Australian based company, also known by the acronym 'WACAP', and was founded in 1969.

The company commenced Woodchipping at Manjimup in the 1970s.

Before it was able to commence - environmental concerns had to be addressed, and considerable concern was raised by the organisations that opposed the project - the Campaign to Save Native Forests, South West Forests Defence Foundation, and Conservation Council of Western Australia all published materials questioning the soundness of the project. As a consequence within a few years of commencing operation regular environmental reviews were carried out to monitor the effect of the operation.

It has maintained production for three decades, and has utilised port facilities at Bunbury for the export of its product.
