Case Study
Choice Energy saves Recyclable Packaging $70,000 per year through solar
Our Customer
Recyclable Packaging is a 100% Australian-owned and operated food packaging manufacturer based out of Seaford, Victoria. The company utilises the latest in extrusion and thermoforming technology ensuring a fast, energy-efficient output, allowing the business to respond to market and customer demands.
One of Recyclable Packaging’s key differences over its competitors is the manufacture of the raw material needed for all its packaging at its purpose-built facility – this allows guaranteed product supply and quality control for its customers.
How we helped
As a result of company expansion and advanced manufacturing conducted on site, Recyclable Packaging engaged Choice Energy to design and supply a turnkey solar power station on its factory.
Due to the non-perpendicular design of the roof, Choice Energy’s expert solar design team utilised multiple tilt-frame angles to ensure the highest possible power production.
Choice Energy later procured a new 4-year energy retail contract identifying $155,255 in total savings. The new retail contract was 19% cheaper than the customer's previous retail contract.
