Lighting Up Our Future: Thorntons Recycling’s Solar Initiative at Killeen Road 25/04/2024

At Thorntons Recycling, we’re committed not just to managing waste but to doing it responsibly. Our latest endeavor at Killeen Road is a testament to this commitment—a massive installation of 1,158 solar panels on our rooftops. This significant upgrade is not just about energy; it's about a sustainable future.


Harnessing Solar Power:

In our quest to reduce our carbon footprint, we’ve launched a solar power project that encapsulates our vision for a cleaner, greener tomorrow. The newly installed solar panels span the rooftops of our Killeen Road facility, boasting a system capacity of 531.8 kW. This impressive array is designed to produce 15% of our annual site energy, illustrating our dedication to renewable energy solutions.




Why Solar?

Solar energy is a clean, renewable resource that can significantly reduce our electricity bills and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. By investing in solar technology, we're not only saving costs in the long run but also contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This project is part of our broader strategy of continuing to implement sustainable practices across all areas of our operations.


Looking Ahead:

This solar panel installation is a step forward in our journey towards sustainability. At Thorntons Recycling, we are continuously looking for ways to innovate and improve our environmental impact. With projects like these, we are setting benchmarks in the recycling industry and paving the way for a sustainable business model.


Conclusion:

We are proud of the strides we are making in sustainability and excited about the future possibilities. We invite you to watch the video, see the panels in action, and join us in our commitment to power a cleaner, more sustainable world.
