Use of solar arrays to offset carbon based energy consumption.
Capturing heat generated from equipment to warm buildings in winter to reduce the use of electric or gas heaters.
Our Product

The reduction of packaging materials enhances the benefit of plastic compared to glass, paper and metal which consume higher amounts of energy to manufacture and require significantly more transportation resources for the same number of units.
