YPS announce commitment to net zero by 2035

The Yorkshire Packaging Systems( YPS) Board has announced its commitment to a net zero target of 10 years’ time. This is well ahead of the UK Government’ s aim to be net zero by 2050.
“ We’ ve been committed to a sustainable business for some time, including the creation of our Plastic Pledge,” explained YPS MD Glyn Johnson.“ However, this new commitment helps our team to re-focus on this vital issue and re-double our efforts to be clearly carbon neutral by an elected deadline.”
The addition of a solar roof will reduce the company’ s Scope 2 emissions. The YPS Team is currently creating a detailed carbon reduction road map, examining all three of the carbon reduction scopes. This process will drive the company forward to a cleaner, greener future.

In driving the company toward this goal, YPS recently had a new solar roof installed at their HQ in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. Working with partner company, Fusion Solar, the system is a 111 kilowatt system that is expected to avoid 24 Tonnes of carbon emissions every year. At the same time, the company’ s roof insulation has been more than doubled to reduce heating requirements.
The ultimate goal of the solar roof project is to make YPS majority self-sufficient for their electricity needs. Further improvements to the solar-powered system are under discussion to assist in meeting and exceeding this target.
