3.2 million kWh

SAVED ANNUALLY

ORBIS’ facility in Bardstown, Kentucky, installed a new water cooling system. The system uses high-efficiency chillers that provide a number of benefits, including saving 3.2 million kWh annually, requiring less downtime, lowering repairs and maintenance costs, reducing scrap rates, and assisting faster cycle times.

Energy

Conserving energy is a focus at all our facilities. We use data to understand and improve our energy use. Energy consumption is controlled with monitoring devices that provide detailed readings on peak energy usage. We use corresponding data to assess our progress in meeting our goals and to guide further improvements.

We look for opportunities to invest in our current facilities with high efficiency lighting, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to help us save energy, reduce carbon emissions, and lower our energy bill. Our energy reduction initiatives, along with our culture of promoting eco-friendly choices, combine to make significant impacts in energy efficiency at our facilities.

UPGRADE USES 66% Less Energy

Upgrading lighting to LED bulbs consumes less energy. Many Menasha Corporation facilities such as our Menasha Packaging’s PrePrint facility in Neenah, Wis., have replaced fluorescent fixtures with LED lighting. The LED bulbs contain zero mercury and automatically dim. The PrePrint plant uses 66% less energy in the areas where they installed the LED lighting.
