Plastic Buckle Manufacturing With Renewable Solar Power
The new rooftop solar installation at our Taiwan plastic buckle manufacturing facility is the latest in a long chain of innovative green solutions that Nifco has implemented to respond to the critical needs of our planet for environmentally responsible manufacturing.
Our new solar array covers the entire roof area of our site in Taoyuan City to maximize solar energy collection and make our energy use as efficient as possible. The power generated is used to run our manufacturing processes, and builds on our history of green manufacturing and innovative energy efficiency.
How Does Nifco Integrate Sustainability?
Our sustainability action roadmap provides the blueprint for our significant and ongoing achievements that integrate material reduction, recycling and energy efficiency. We have significantly reduced the use of new materials and the energy required to manufacture our plastic buckles without compromising on design strength, performance or aesthetics.
Six ways Nifco Taiwan makes efficient use of energy
- LED lighting in all office areas
- Laboratory light and fan control automation
- Optimization of facilities
- Updated water cooling
- Improved manufacturing processes
- Solar energy rooftop array
Before we built our rooftop solar array, we had conducted an energy audit, which discovered 95% of our possible energy savings were based on electricity consumption. The logical next step after implementing efficiency measures was to install rooftop solar energy to supply the electricity we required.
We are Committed to Corporate Social Responsibility
At Nifco we take our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) very seriously, as an integrated part of our drive to demonstrate leadership in following Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles in our plastic buckle manufacturing operations.
The new solar energy installation at Nifco Taiwan is due to come online in early 2025, and is the latest in a series of environmental initiatives. The history of our company demonstrates our long term commitment to best practices in green manufacturing, including our focus on reducing, reusing and recycling the plastics we use in our plastic buckle manufacturing processes.
Nifco Responds to UN & EU Initiatives for Environmental Protection
UN actions on plastic waste management and EU Fit for 55 initiatives for greenhouse gas reductions require environmentally responsible businesses to adopt genuine waste management, material reduction, and renewable energy systems.
The EU initiative advocates for integration of multiple actions to combat climate change, and this is the approach Nifco has adopted with our combination of improved waste management, energy efficiency and adoption of renewable energy, as we see here in our most recent addition to our corporate climate change reduction initiatives.
Genuine Environmental Credentials Protect Brand Reputation
The exposure of ‘greenwashing’ by consumer and government investigators has been a positive driving force for brands to work more closely with plastic buckle manufacturers like Nifco, who have a strong and independently certified history of genuinely green manufacturing practices.
