Energy Management
Energy management is about more than just using clean or renewable energy. It is also about reducing the total amount of energy our glass decorating facilities actually need and use.
At Decotech we are constantly improving our glass decorating processes and techniques to reduce the energy needed to get the job done. Reducing our energy requirements has as great, or greater, an impact on the environment as does buying energy from renewable sources.
Decotech has measurable energy reduction goals in place that are shared by all our employees. Our combined facility energy management efforts include the following:
- Running a four-day manufacturing work-week to instantly eliminate almost 20% of our prior energy needs.
- Upgrading the glass decorating equipment in our facility to ensure we are making use of the most energy efficient glass decorating technology available on the market.
- Weatherizing all facilities to prevent energy loss and inefficiency throughout the year.
- Installing motion sensors on every light fixture in the facility, which allows for rooms to only be lit when they are in use.
- Using aggressive energy management settings on all equipment in our facility, when feasible.
Waste-to-Energy Initiative
Our Waste-to-Energy program is another avenue by which our glass decorating facilities achieve our energy management goals. Waste-to-Energy management has many benefits not only to our operations, but also to the community and environment around us.
- The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says Energy-from-Waste facilities generate power “with less environmental impact than almost any other source of electricity.”
- Waste-to-Energy is the most responsible means of solid waste disposal available today.
- This approach to waste management greatly reduces the volume of waste and greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional landfill disposal.
