Global 100 Sustainable Hygiene Company Essity Achieves Further Energy Savings by Partnering with Ecosave
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.
