These changes have helped us reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and meet the standards of our Sustainability initiative.

 

 

Our of solar panel installation brings an energy savings of 814,453 Kilowatt-hours. These 577 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide saved is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of nearly 1.5 million miles driven by gasoline-powered passenger vehicles.

In addition, we have embraced biofuels and partnered with other companies in our industrial park to develop a recycling center. We have also swapped out all our warehouse lights for LED bulbs and are in the process of testing electric forklifts.

North Nashville Recycling Center

Launched in October 2022, NOTS partners with various tenants in our industrial park to recycle various materials, including paper, cardboard, aluminum, glass, plastics, and more. If you are located in our industrial park and would like to learn how to participate, contact us at 800-642-5436.
