Tetra Pak: Recovering Waste Heat to Reduce Environmental Footprint
0
0

Tetra Pak, a leading food packaging and processing solutions provider, is committed to reducing its environmental footprint. One way it achieves this is by recovering waste heat and gas generated during production to generate energy.

Problem

Traditional manufacturing processes generate a significant amount of waste heat and gas, which are often released into the environment. This results in increased greenhouse gas emissions and a higher environmental footprint.

Solution

Tetra Pak has implemented several energy recovery initiatives to reduce its environmental footprint. One of these initiatives is the use of a heat recovery system, which captures waste heat generated during production and uses it to heat water for the facility's heating and cooling systems.

Outcome

Tetra Pak's energy recovery initiatives have helped the company reduce its environmental footprint and achieve its sustainability goals. The heat recovery system has resulted in a 9% reduction in energy consumption, while the biogas system has generated 11.5 million kWh of renewable energy, reducing Tetra Pak's greenhouse gas emissions by 3,000 tons per year. Additionally, Tetra Pak's commitment to sustainability has helped the company attract environmentally conscious customers who value sustainable products and processes.
