Allied Machine & Engineering Furthers Sustainability Efforts
Allied Machine aims to reduce its carbon footprint with the installation of solar panels.
Allied Machine & Engineering announces the installation of solar panels at its Deeds Drive facility in Dover, Ohio to reduce its carbon footprint.
The solar panel project is intended to impact numerous areas of the environment, including the offsetting of an estimated 1,112 tons of CO2 per year, keeping it from being released into the air. According to the company, the solar panel installation is said to provide CO2 consumption equivalent to 25,878 trees. In order to diversify the company’s energy sources, this project can prevent the consumption of 2,345 barrels of oil due to the use of solar energy sources instead of conventional electric generation sources such as coal or natural gas.
In addition to the solar panels, Allied Machine focuses on recycling paper and cardboard as well as steel. Between the two Ohio facilities, 11,756 pounds of paper and 166 gross tons of steel turnings, chips and more have been recycled.
“We’ve been wanting to do this for over 10 years and finally have the opportunity to do so. Installing solar panels aligns with Allied’s environmental stewardship, and we plan to continue to reduce our carbon footprint with future projects,” says Ross Randazzo, director of operation excellence.
