Transitioning to Renewable Energy Sources

Recognizing the energy-intensive nature of our production processes, Envases has taken proactive measures to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources by adopting renewable energy sources wherever feasible. This renewable energy transition is part of our effort, and we’ve continued installing solar panels across several sites. These installations now generate substantial amounts of renewable energy, directly helping to offset emissions from our operations.

This initiative directly supports our ambitious goal of achieving a 42% absolute reduction in greenhouse gas (Scope 1 & 2) emissions by 2030.

With this initiative, we save nearly 956 tons of CO2 per year, which represents almost 20% of our total energy emissions in Germany. We acknowledge that this is a considerable investment, but it is also an investment in our green profile.

Beyond recent projects in Spain and Germany, we also have existing solar panel installations at our factory in Halsteren, Netherlands. In Spain, we began installing solar panels at two of our factories. These panels will reduce approximately 40% of their electricity needs and are now generating clean, renewable energy, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 481 tonnes.

Driven by rising energy costs, Envases Germany reduced the impact of these expenses and gained operational independence. Furthermore, Envases adheres to ambitious environmental goals, and the installation of solar panels significantly reduces CO2 emissions.

Transitioning to Renewable Energy Sources

While this marks just the beginning of our journey toward a low-carbon future, it represents a tangible step forward. We remain committed to expanding our use of renewable energy across more facilities, ensuring that sustainability is central to our operations for years to come. 

We are committed to continuing this journey and have already placed an order for solar panels for another factory.

Beyond the environmental benefits, these installations are also helping us reduce operational energy costs, a saving that underscores the feasibility and importance of transitioning to renewable energy sources.
