< All Initiatives Affordable and Clean Energy LED Lighting AstenJohnson is working to replace all the lights in our plants with LED lights. This will result in 2/3 of electricity savings compared to the original lights. Clinton, SC Project Start: 2017 Project Completion: 2019 Results Energy savings of approximately 194,000 kWh per year. 440 lights replaced “The LED light bulb replacement project is certainly the largest project I have completed at Eagle so far. Moving to LEDs had a huge $25,000 cash incentive from our electric company and the estimated savings of $45,000/year really made it a no-brainer.” Dominic Angelo Badalmenti, Product Engineer at Eagle Nonwovens Solar Panels eupen, belgium In addition to the replacement of old light with LED lights, AstenJohnson Eupen installed solar panels on site in 2017. This initiative enabled AstenJohnson to increase the portion of green energy of total energy consumption. The panels installed can produce...
The circular economy must replace our current linear product cycle, and needs to be on the table when discussing solutions to tackle climate change.
Washington State University researchers have developed a sustainable wastewater treatment system that relies on electron-producing microbial communities to clean the water. The work could someday lead to reduced reliance on the energy-intensive processes that are used to move and treat wastewater, which accounts for as much as two percent of the total electrical energy consumption in the United States.
