At Philip Rosenau, sustainable practices make good business sense. We are saving money and reducing our environmental impact. By using the Sustainability Dashboard, we tracked this progress and can show you our savings.

In 2009, we started an extensive recycling program for our facility, which we extended to our customers. Since then, we recycled almost 305,000 lbs of waste.

After performing a lighting retrofit, we are spending 40% less on electricity and consuming 32% less electricity than our baseline. When lighting retrofit occurred This translates into a $28,000 savings and 171,678 kWh savings per year.

All of these efforts save money and reduce our carbon footprint All of these efforts save money and reduce our carbon footprint. Each year, these two initiatives prevent 180 metric tons of carbon from entering the atmosphere.

To offset 180 metric tons of carbon, we would have to prevent the deforestation of 150 acres of forested land each year.

Let’s think of new ideas to keep improving because every bit makes a difference.
