Other highlights of our recent environmental performance include:
- Norgren's Farnham facility in the UK yielded a 33% saving in gas usage despite moving to a 24-hour operation and also reduced cardboard waste by 45% (14.5 tonnes).
- Cannon Equipment's installation of a new paint spray system at the Chattanooga plant in the USA has reduced overspray powder waste by 30 tonnes a year as well as reducing energy consumption and the use of aerosol touch-up paint.
- CCI sponsorship of an employee rideshare scheme at its plants around the world, aimed at reducing car journeys and hence fuel consumption, emission of greenhouse gases and air pollution.
- TA in Sweden has reduced the energy costs by 75% for space heating in its offices through the use of a property system supervising the whole premises of 35000 sq metres. The system controls the building's frequency controlled pumps and fans, as well as heat exchangers for waste heat using geothermally heated groundwater from twenty nine deep bored wells.
