Plastics Manufacturing
Sustainability remains a concern for the industry, as plastic manufacturers face increasing pressure to work toward a carbon net zero future.
Medium and large manufacturers can make significant impacts on their sustainability journeys, one such way is by having a clear energy strategy in place.
80% of manufacturing firms are seeing commercial benefits from implementing environmentally responsible programmes, and 37% of firms said they had achieved reduced operational costs.

“Our business uses a lot of different machinery and the portal allows us to view energy output per machine, this makes it so easy to find any machines that may need servicing or replacing. Without the portal, it would take a major fault to notice this.”
