Essity

Ecosave’s investment in energy efficiency and equipment upgrades has resulted in significant capital cost avoidance and reduced energy use by 4% in MWh per ton of finished product for Essity Hygiene, a global hygiene and health company.

Ecosave was asked to provide holistic and all-encompassing solutions to improve efficiency as well as address maintenance, comfort and reliability issues.

Ecosave developed a fully funded energy savings project that addressed these issues while not requiring any capital outlay or debt from the client. A substantial reduction in annual operating expenses funds the great majority of Ecosave’s service fee.
