Flo has been producing disposable plastic items like cups, plates and cutlery since the 1970s. Wanting to rise above the competition and cut down operating costs, the company installed a 2.7 MW cogeneration plant in 2015. The energy produced by the plant meets 100% of the company’s electricity needs and 80% of its heating needs. What makes this plant unique is a lithium bromide absorber able to transform hot water into cold water, which is then used to chill moulds and other machinery. Flo is accruing white certificates as a result of the plant’s extremely high efficiency and to leverage the benefits, the company recently decided to install a new plant at one of its branch factories.
