🌱 Perlen Packaging invests in sustainability in Müllheim 🌍 Perlen Packaging GmbH in Müllheim expanded its existing energy supply concept at the beginning of the year. This now enables the entire site to be powered by renewable energy sources. Since the beginning of this year, the new investment has made it possible to operate the three calendering lines with renewable energy sources. The company can now completely dispense with fossil fuels. The decision to specifically promote renewable energy sources is a central component of the company's commitment to environmental protection and sustainability. Perlen Packaging GmbH, Müllheim, is thus actively responding to the challenges of climate change and helping to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. A heartfelt thank you to the main project leaders Reiner Gerlach, Heiko Bär and Andreas Engler, whose commitment and expertise contributed significantly to the successful realisation of the investment.   #PerlenPackaging #Sustainability #SustainableEnergy

🌠 We are pleased to share a significant milestone achieved at our Kirkniemi Mill in Lohja, Finland: we’ve reduced the carbon footprint of our Galerie papers range by 55%, which is expected to reach 70% by the end of 2024. This is a key step forward and a major milestone in our sustainability journey. We made significant investments to bring renewable energy and clean electricity to the mill. The knock-on effects, for our own Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have been enormous, but the positive effects also support our customers’ own efforts to decrease their emissions. Here’s what Sarah Price, Sappi Europe’s Director of Sustainability has to say: “For us, this is much broader than emissions; it’s about investing now for long-term positive change and enabling our customers to do the same.” Read more about the announcement here: https://ow.ly/SoM650SEsnp #SappiEurope #Sustainability #PaperIndustry

Cevat Mert Is Cimpor's New CEO for Portugal and Cape Verde In a statement, Cimpor states that the appointment of Cevat Mert -- who has already taken office -- is "an important step to continue the execution of the company's strategic plan", which foresees investing 270 million euros by 2030 in the environmental and of social responsibility, in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. "Mert has a degree in engineering and has outstanding international experience. He now joins Cimpor Portugal and Cape Verde at a time marked by the group's growth at an international level and adaptation to the sector's sustainability requirements", reads the document . Among the investments announced by Cimpor are the replacement of fossil fuels with alternative fuels, the conversion of production lines to a greater focus on calcined clays and the use of photovoltaic energy, which involves updating the group's factories. Announced last May, the investment of 121 million in the Alhandra factory, for example, foresees the modernization of infrastructures such as ovens and mills and a commitment to the use of renewable energy, which, according to Cimpor, "will allow us to speed up processes and significantly reduce the impact of your activity.” Quoted in the statement, the new CEO considers it "fundamental to move towards sustainability, without forgetting the role that Cimpor has at national level in terms of economic impact and job creation". "Our objective is to reduce our environmental footprint while reinforcing Cimpor's participatory role in the local communities around our centers and in involvement in social responsibility projects that directly benefit the regions in which we are located", concludes Cevat Mert. https://ift.tt/TnSQZ0r

Learn about Athens-Clarke County efforts and Hannah Chaffee's article on "The Scope of Energy in ACC": "In 2022, thanks to 100% Athens and the community’s efforts to demonstrate the necessity of a clean energy transition, Athens-Clarke County Sustainability published the Clean and Renewable Energy Plan. The Clean and Renewable Energy Plan [1] serves as a guidebook to achieving a local, equitable clean energy transition while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The central goals of the plan are to: 1) achieve 100% clean and renewable electricity for all municipal properties, government operations, and community-wide buildings by 2035 and to 2) meet the community’s electricity demand with 100% clean and renewable electricity by 2050."
