At Minigrip, we are focusing on developing quality products that are more friendly to the environment and improving our manufacturing plants to become more energy efficient. Below are just a few of the things that we're doing.

• Replace manufacturing lighting from metal-halide type lighting to high efficiency/high output fluorescent lighting for energy savings.
• Retrofit process cooling chill water pumps with variable speed drives for operating pumps at the most efficient speed for process and energy efficiency.
• Install area lighting control system that automatically "turns off" office/room lights when the room is unoccupied.
• Reduce the cost of waste to landfill by increasing the percentage of total waste recycled vs. waste sent to the landfill.
• Reduce the cost of recycling by reducing the amount of waste generated and sent to recycling.
• Conduct 3^rd party (Texas A & M University) energy audit to examine total energy used and ways to reduce energy consumption.
