The manufacturer has switched from fluorescent/metal halide lighting to LED lighting in its ten factories and quarry.
Paving and walling manufacturer, Tobermore, has invested £34k into the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting across its sites.
By switching from fluorescent/metal halide lighting to LED lighting in each of their 10 factories and quarry, Tobermore has implemented a quick way to reduce its overall cardbon dioxide emissions. Retrofitting the exterior and interior lighting at its facilities has also created a much brighter working environment for operatives.
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.
With soaring energy prices and global emissions rising at unprecedented levels, companies and households alike are transitioning to energy-efficient LED lighting.
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.
David Henderson, Managing Director of Tobermore, said: “Sustainability is of the utmost importance at Tobermore. We are constantly looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Rolling out £34k of LED lighting within our production facilities was a no brainer.
"The energy-efficient lighting will reduce our CO2 emissions while saving money on our energy bills. LED lighting is a win-win for businesses and households alike, I would encourage more people to make the switch.”
Tobermore has also reduced its carbon footprint in the following ways:
