LEDs can use approximately 50% less power when compared to traditional lighting sources. LED technology is a readily available and easily actionable solution to dramatically lower carbon. According to The Climate Group, lighting accounts for nearly five per cent of global CO2 emissions. It has been projected that a global switch to LED lighting could save over 1,400 million tonnes of CO2 and avoid the construction of 1,250 power stations. 100% of electricity produced from its 250kW wind turbine is used during its production process, Over 1,250 solar panels installed producing 38,950.90 kWhr per annum, Reduced its production waste to landfill to zero through a process of continual improvement in production efficiency and the 100% recycling of manufacturing residue, 100% of the water used in the production of products comes from its rainwater harvesting system and own bore hole, Investing in more sustainable product packaging. The 100% recyclable polyethylene film contains 30% recycled material. By using recycled material, it has decreased waste and reduced its packaging-related carbon footprint by 20%. are some of the ways Tobermore reduced its carbon footprint.
