Once installed, the solar array will produce 1,027,638 kWh of energy annually – the equivalent of 79,456.55 gallons of gasoline.
Tetra Pak announced plans to install a new photovoltaic (PV) panel array at its Denton, Texas, headquarters campus. The move is part of the company’s goal to use 100% renewable electricity in the United States by 2019 and worldwide by 2030. The Denton campus houses offices, a pilot-scale food production plant and a factory that produces packaging material for Tetra Pak cartons.
“Using electricity from renewable resources makes sense for the environment and for business,” says Jason Pelz, vice president of circular economy – Tetra Pak Americas & Southeast Asia and Oceania. “It ensures we’re not tied to a finite resource to operate our business. And, by lowering our environmental footprint, we’re also supporting our customers’ goals to reduce their overall climate impact.”
