At Minigrip, we are focusing on developing quality products that are environmentally sustainable and improving the energy efficiency of our manufacturing plants. Below are just a few of the things that we’re doing.
OUR COMMITMENT: SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
- 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 3rd party (Texas A & M University) energy audit to examine total energy used and ways to reduce energy consumption.
