Ardagh Glass Packaging-Europe (AGP-Europe), an operating business of Ardagh Group, announced today that a new solar installation at its glass facility in Irvine, Scotland, is now generating on-site renewable electricity, which will add enough electricity back to the grid to remove the equivalent of an estimated 356 tonnes of CO2e annually.
During the summer months the solar panels will provide up to 25% of AGP-Irvine's total electricity usage. The remaining renewable electricity used at the facility will continue to be supplied by a third party.
