Energy
As a manufacturer, we naturally use a lot of energy. 刘玥首次大战黑人recognizes the critical role we play in adopting new energy technologies to help deliver a low-carbon economy. Understanding how we use energy helps us identify opportunities to increase efficiencies or introduce renewable energy solutions throughout our global business. Here are some ways we鈥檝e done just that.
- Solar panels in Tewkesbury, UK, reduce carbon emissions by 120 tonnes per year.听More than 1,200 photovoltaic panels have reduced the building鈥檚 electricity-based carbon emissions by over 40%.
- Energy recovery ventilators and LED lighting in Christiansburg, VA, reduce carbon emissions in its mechanical and lighting systems by 27% and 67%, respectively.
- Smart LED lighting in our production and office areas worldwide saves significant energy.听For example, LED lighting in our Wolverhampton site alone saves over 13,000-kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity every year.
- Electric vehicle (EV) charging points in several sites globally support employees and their personal environmental footprint goals.听By 2023, we expect to have more than 60 EV charging stations worldwide.
刘玥首次大战黑人continuously looks for ways to improve our operations and processes to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. We鈥檝e identified key areas in energy and waste where we can minimize our footprint.
Waste
We have spent many years minimizing waste in our operations and continue to explore new and innovative ways to tackle waste to further reduce our organization鈥檚 carbon emissions and drive down costs. To date, we鈥檝e had several initiatives targeted directly at minimizing our waste footprint. Efforts to optimize waste storage and segregation, coupled with employee training, has resulted in a zero non-hazardous waste landfill policy at several of our manufacturing sites worldwide. From California to England, reusable drinkware has significantly reduced waste at several sites worldwide.听In Tewkesbury alone, we have eliminated the use and waste of 330,000 plastic cups each year. Throughout our global operations, efforts continue to eliminate plastics or reduce them by using reusable or recyclable solutions instead. Segregating and composting biodegradable waste in our San Jose, Costa Rica, location has reduced the carbon emissions associated with that waste stream by 85%.
