Code 95 Zero Waste to Landfill New! B-100-30 Transport Complete Hardenberg De Groot Global Logistics Our service in pictures Newsletter Thermo King produces waste-free Thermo King production facility in Galway, Ireland with "Zero Waste to Landfill" The Galway facility is one of more than 90 Ingersoll Rand sites that are committed to zero waste disposal in landfills reflecting the company's climate commitment. Thermo King ® develops systems that regulate the transport temperature for a variety of mobile applications. It is an Ingersoll Rand brand . The production facility in Galway, Ireland, became one of the first Ingersoll Rand sites not to send waste to landfills. The sustainability boost at the Thermo King plant in Galway came from Ingersoll Rand's climate commitments in 2014 to, among other things, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from operations by approximately 35 percent by 2020. Thermo King Galway is one of the brand's main manufacturing facilities. Currently, more than 500 people work on the construction of a wide range of Thermo King refrigeration units for trucks and trailers. Before reaching the "zero waste" milestone, the plant sent 230 tons of waste annually to landfill. Today, everything at the Galway site is recyclable and recycling of waste such as metal, plastic, cardboard or wood from the production stations has become part of the factory's standard operations. “The measures implemented in Galway are effective and show that environmental sustainability is good for everyone, including our bottom line,” explains Cormac Mac Donncha, Operations Director at Thermo King. “For example, we exchanged wooden pallets for reusable steel ones to transport our finished products. This way we keep pallets away from landfills, we don't have to recycle them and we save a million euros every year. " However, Thermo King Galway continues to make efforts to ensure the sustainability of its business. Recently another rainwater installation was put into use to collect rainwater on the roof of almost 18,580 m². The rainwater is used to flush toilets and reduces water consumption in the factory by 50,000 liters per month. "Het werk stopt niet nu we ons doel om niet langer afval te storten hebben bereikt. Dit is een proces dat blijft doorgaan. We zullen blijven zoeken naar alternatieve recyclingmethodes en opportuniteiten om de impact op het milieu te verlagen," verklaart Mac Donncha.

De klimaatafspraken van het bedrijf beogen: de koelmiddelgerelateerde uitstoot van broeikasgassen van de producten tegen 2020 te verlagen met 50 procent en het alternatieven voor een lager aardopwarmingsvermogen op te nemen in het portfolio tegen 2030. 500 miljoen dollar te investeren in productgerelateerd onderzoek en ontwikkeling voor de volgende vijf jaar om de langetermijnverlaging van broeikasgassen te financieren; en bedrijfsgerelateerde uitstoot van broeikasgassen te verlagen met 35 procent tegen 2020. At present, the agreements have resulted in approximately 2 million tonnes less CO 2 e emissions worldwide. This is roughly equivalent to the annual CO 2 emissions from energy in more than 270,000 homes or the burning of nearly 950,000 tons of coal. In support of the climate commitments, Ingersoll Rand launched the EcoWise ™ product portfolio, designed to reduce environmental impact with a new generation of refrigerants with lower global warming potential and high efficiency. By 2030, the company expects to reduce its carbon emissions by 50 million tons.
