Recognized for our Commitment to Sustainability

In our continued effort to reduce our carbon imprint, Calumet Carton Company decided to make a big investment towards energy savings. In the fall of 2009, we re-lamped our entire plant with Orion’s high-intensity fluorescent technology, reducing our power consumption by 54%. The new system is expected to decrease the amount of kilowatt-hours consumed by 357,064 kWh per year over the 20 year life of the fixtures. That equates to 7,141,280kWh! As a result of this new energy efficient lighting system that we installed, we received the Orion Environmental Stewardship Award in February 2010. Because the environmental benefits derived from our lighting project are ongoing and will continue for years, this award is so much more meaningful to us. Over the lifetime of the Orion fixtures that we installed, the environmental impact equates to:   Planting 66 acres of forest. Removing 4,716 tons of airborne pollutants Saving 589,550 gallons of gasoline To find out more about Calumet Carton receiving the Orion Environmental Award, click Here  to read the full press release or visit Orion’s website at oesx.com.
