BPF award for energy reduction
24th October 2017

EPWIN WINDOWS SYSTEMS has won the BPF Energy Award 2017 for the facility BPF/F00150 within the Climate Change Agreement. in recognition of the company’s commitment to energy reduction at its Telford extrusion plant where its main profile systems are made.

The award was presented by the President of the British Plastics Federation at the BPF Annual dinner at the Lancaster Hotel, London in front of over 500 people from across the plastics industry.

Divisional Operations Director Andy Bevan said of the win: “This award can be given to any business in the plastics industry sector so to win it is a significant achievement. As a business, we are totally committed to reducing our carbon footprint across all areas of the business, particularly our manufacturing processes. We look forward to continuing to drive forward in our commitment.”

In previous years the award was solely based around improvement in the Climate Change Agreement (CCA) Specific Energy Consumption (SEC). However, for the past two years the award has had a bias towards an absolute energy reduction criterion at facility level. As such, it is a mark of the success of the major investment made by Epwin Window Systems during 2015/2016 in energy reduction in its manufacturing process.
