SOLAR POWER TO FUEL TORAY PLASTICS GROWTH

摘要

Packaging films producer Toray Plastics (America), Inc., is shedding new light on manufacturing sustainability following last month's completion of a new US$2-million solar power farm at its 70-acre campus in North Kingstown, R.I., as part of a broader initiative to minimize its carbon footprint. Housing 1,650 solar phototvoltaic (PV) panels, the three-acre farm site will generate 625 megawatt hours (MWh) a year, according to the company, cutting its annual carbon-dioxide emissions by about 340 tonnes.
