Imageco are excited to announce the launch of their new solar project!
Imageco are installing 256 tier 1 photovoltaic solar panels to help generate enough energy to power their 30,000 square ft facility.
“We’re always looking for new ways to adapt and innovate, after focusing on our carbon offsetting policies, recycling programs and implementing new sustainable materials, the next step was to analyse our energy consumption. This is where harnessing the power of the sun to print responsibly came into mind.” Said Nathan Swinson-Bullough, Imageco MD & FESPA UK board member
“The solar solutions will save sufficient energy to power 18 homes for an entire year, and dramatically reduce our carbon footprint. The Co2 savings per year are equal to travelling 135,000 miles by plane.”
“We’re committed to achieving our sustainability goals by any means necessary. The decision to revolutionise our energy consumption comes just months after we installed a voltage optimiser in the facility, a tool to help us cut carbon output by 9,363kg of Co2 per annum.”
Both the voltage optimiser and the solar panels have been supplied by Planet U, who are giving us the tools to continue to innovate.
As a specialist digital print company Based in Leeds, here in the UK, Image co have a global reach, supplying clients with printed products worldwide. Their great success, is attributed to a strong dynamic team, constant innovation, state of the art technology and a can do approach.
With a strong focus on sustainability, sourcing new substrates and incentivizing clients to switch to green eco-substrates has also become a personal mission for Nathan.
