Increasing renewable energy and improving efficiency at Hager’s Telford Site
As the world continues to focus on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, companies like Hager UK are leading the way in demonstrating that sustainable practices can be good for the environment and good for business.
Committed to sustainability and reducing its environmental impact, the Telford-based site is a prime example of Hager UK’s commitment to sustainability with a range of initiatives introduced aimed at reducing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency.
One of the most significant projects at the Telford site is the installation of a 100 kW PV solar panel system on the roof of one of the units. Generating renewable energy from the sun enables the company to reducing its reliance on grid power and lowering its carbon footprint. However, Hager UK's commitment to sustainability doesn't stop there. The company is now planning to increase the size of the solar panel system to 600 kW. This ambitious project will further reduce the site's grid consumption by 30-35%, making a significant contribution to the company's sustainability goals.
But Hager UK's sustainability efforts extend beyond renewable energy. The company is also focused on reducing waste and improving resource efficiency. One example of this is the implementation of a waste segregation system, which enables the site to recycle a wide range of materials, including cardboard, plastic, metal and paper. This has resulted in a significant reduction in waste sent to landfill while also providing valuable raw materials for the manufacturing process.
In addition to waste reduction and improving energy efficiency of its operations, Hager UK is also committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its products. The company has developed a range of energy-efficient products, including low-energy lighting systems and smart home solutions that enable customers to monitor and control their energy usage. By investing in renewable energy, reducing waste, and improving energy efficiency, Hager UK is demonstrating that sustainability is not just a moral imperative but also a smart business decision.
