Phase one of the solar panel system is reportedly already operational and is currently providing 20% of the site’s electricity needs.
Sidel’s Parma facility has also seen the re-lamping of 40,000m² with LED systems with the aim of decreasing electricity consumption by 60%.
This is in addition to the conversion of heating systems from natural gas to heat pumps, which will aid the reduction of CO₂ emissions by 1950t per year.
As part of the company’s overall sustainability strategy, Sidel recently established a one-stop shop to facilitate a smooth and efficient market switch to recycled PET called ‘RePETable’.
