INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 13,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ardagh Group's distribution
center in Fairfield, Calif., was
awarded an ENERGY STAR® building certification for
superior energy performance from the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
The Fairfield distribution
center primarily serves Ardagh's packaging distribution needs in
the West Coast to better service the wine industry.
"Ardagh Group is honored to earn the ENERGY STAR building
certification at our Fairfield,
California distribution center for the seventh consecutive
year," said Alex Winters, Chief
Sustainability Officer at Ardagh Glass Packaging. "Thanks to the
hard work and dedication of the Ardagh employees, we are able to
monitor energy consumption and reduce our environmental
impact."
ENERGY STAR certified buildings and plants are verified to
perform in the top 25 percent of buildings nationwide, based on
weather-normalized source energy use that takes into account
occupancy, hours of operation, and other key metrics. ENERGY STAR
is the only energy efficiency certification in the United States that is based on actual,
verified energy performance.
"Improving the energy performance of our nation's buildings is
critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions," said Cindy Jacobs, Chief of the ENERGY STAR
Commercial & Industrial Branch. "EPA applauds manufacturers for
their commitment to energy efficiency as demonstrated by achieving
continued ENERGY STAR certifications for their facilities."
On average, ENERGY STAR certified buildings and plants use 35
percent less energy, cause 35 percent fewer greenhouse gas
emissions, and are less expensive to operate than their peers – all
without sacrifices in performance or comfort. For more information,
visit the ENERGY STAR website.
Earlier this year, Ardagh partnered with Buske Logistics and
Shoppa's Material Handling LTD on the electrification of vehicles
at its distribution center in Fairfield,
Calif. The conversion will save approximately 30,000 gallons
of liquid propane and prevent more than 60 tons of CO2 from
entering the atmosphere each year.
Initiatives like the ENERGY STAR certification and vehicle/fleet
conversion demonstrate how Ardagh is an environmental leader in the
packaging industry.
