SIG continues to extend its leadership in the use of renewable energy within the beverage carton industry with the installation of its largest on-site solar array to date. More than 19,000 solar panels at its production plant in Wittenberg, Germany, will provide total power capacity of up to 9.2 MWp and generate enough renewable electricity to avoid an estimated 2,500 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions per year.
This future-oriented solar project is being implemented in partnership with communal energy supply provider Leipziger Stadtwerke GmbH as a long-term cooperation.
Klaus Zauner, director operations Europe, SIG, said, “Using 100% renewable energy to make SIG packs has already effectively eliminated greenhouse gas emissions from our production globally. Now, we are going further by directly investing in renewables at our own plants as part of our commitment to going Way Beyond Good for people and the planet. The massive solar installation at Wittenberg will significantly increase our on-site renewable capacity within months and further installations will follow soon at other SIG plants.”
Dr Maik Piehler, managing director of Leipziger Stadtwerke, said, “With our experience and our know-how, we support companies, and here specifically the innovative SIG Group, on their way to a secure and sustainable energy supply. We offer reliable solutions tailored to specific needs – simple, affordable and environmentally friendly.”
