Multi Packaging Solutions takes 25% green energy

US packaging firm Multi Packaging Solutions, which services the DVD, games and music industries amongst others, said it has switched to 25% green energy at its manufacturing plants in Texas and New Jersey.

The company said that by purchasing 25% green energy, it will reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1,200 metric tons, which equates to eliminating 1,200 tons of coal or 114,042 gallons of gasoline each year.

MPS President Dennis Kaltman said, “Our transition to renewable energy is the next logical step in developing our sustainable solutions platform. We can now help customers layer sustainable features into their products, including recycled, recyclable, or renewable materials, chain-of-custody certifications, responsible manufacturing practices, and a lower carbon footprint.”
