Major investment in clean energy
June 1st 2011 Selden has made a £000,000
investment in solar energy to
help power its Buxton factory
with pollution-free electricity.
Green electricity generated by
sunlight is sufficient to power
filling lines for all pouch refills
used in Selden's new So System
hand care dispensers, enabling
zero carbon production on
pouch refills for So System
foaming soaps, skin cleansers
and skin sanitisers.
Mark Woodhead, Selden sales
director and current chairman of
the British Cleaning Council,
explained:"Our solar energy
outlay follows on from the
£1million investment we made
in bulk raw ingredient storage
tanks to minimise levels of inbound
raw material
transportation and associated
packaging while our new
concentrate product lines
require far less packaging and far
fewer outward delivery journeys.
In addition,we've reduced
production waste by reclaiming
and reprocessing chemcials from
tank washings.The small amount
of washings content that can't be
reclaimed is broken down in our
bio-reactor which uses natural
process to biodegrade the
residue into water and air." More articles from Selden Research Ltd: |
