Energy Management: Tips for Packaging Machinery OEMs
March 8, 2011
See below for tips on how to reduce energy consumption:
Build a sustainability strategy around source reduction for your
customers, including packaging materials, ancillary products, and energy
and water.
Seek ways to minimize and document your products’ energy consumption in anticipation of likely future customer requirements.
Use a recognized methodology to document your machinery’s sustainability
attributes, such as Total Cost of Ownership, Life Cycle Assessment, or
Overall Equipment Effectiveness.
Benchmark your products and services relative to the Sustainable
Packaging Coalition’s definition of sustainability, an informal but
widely recognized packaging industry benchmark.
Form strategic relationships, as appropriate, with converters or other
suppliers of packaging, ancillary products, machinery or automation.
