This company manufactures packaging for the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. This process employs solvent-based technologies that emit substances during evaporation and are harmful to the environment and human health. To reduce pollution, the company treats these gases, and the process of doing this generates large quantities of waste heat. The company procured and mounted a chiller that turns this heat into energy to air condition the facility and utilise it in the printing and laminating processes that used to utilise natural gas. The company applied for an integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC) permit as well.
