A new energy management service will help Berry Plastics meet its utility and waste reduction goals.
Berry Plastics Group Inc. has selected Ecova, an energy and sustainability management company, to provide services that will assist in reducing its waste generation and consumption of electricity, natural gas, and water. Berry Plastics, a leading provider of consumer plastic packaging and engineered materials, plans to leverage the Ecova Energy and Sustainability Management Platform to gain additional insight into waste generation and utility consumption at its more than 80 U.S. and Canadian facilities. The added visibility and analysis, coupled with Ecova’s recommendations for improvement initiatives, will help Berry Plastics to reduce its waste generation and optimize its utility efficiencies while minimizing associated costs.
As Berry Plastics’ facility footprint has grown, so has its use of automation. As a result, the company’s energy usage has also grown. Leveraging Ecova services such as Bill Audit, Rate Optimization and Energy Procurement will ensure that utility invoices don’t include errors, that utility rates are set appropriately for Berry Plastics’ consumption patterns, and that opportunities in deregulated markets are maximized.
