Earth-friendly initiatives continue Plastipak’s
efforts to improve the environment
The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of
The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES), is recognizing Plastipak Packaging
Inc. (Plastipak) for earning $1 million in rebates through
energy-saving measures that are improving the environment. The
efforts are part of a broader corporate energy efficiency
initiative being pursued at Plastipak's sites globally.
“Plastipak is committed to shrinking the company’s environmental
footprint through a series of earth- friendly initiatives that
continue to grow through the creativity of Plastipak associates,”
said William C. Young, President Plastipak Packaging Inc.
Supported by DP&L’s Energy Efficiency team, Plastipak’s
Jackson Center packaging plant in Ohio has significantly increased
the energy efficiency of its heating ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC), compressed air system, and motors and drives.
Plastipak becomes only the second DP&L customer to achieve $1
million in total energy efficiency rebates.
Two of the larger projects equate to significant energy savings
with the installation of a new chiller and cooling tower. Switching
from an air to a water cooled chiller allows Plastipak to save more
than three million kilowatt hours per year and installing a 500-ton
cooling tower will save more than four million kilowatt hours
annually. Plastipak received nearly $600,000 in rebates just for
these two projects.
As a result of all the improvements plant-wide, Plastipak’s
Jackson Center site will realize a total of 18,101,109 kilowatt
hours per year in energy savings.
“Plastipak is taking the necessary steps across their facility
making energy efficiency and the environment a priority and today,
we celebrate the realization of those efforts,” said Tom Raga,
DP&L President and CEO. “When Plastipak’s business leaders
alongside their associates implement creative solutions for their
energy costs we all save. DP&L is proud to partner with
Plastipak’s management team and recognize the achievement of $1
million in total energy efficient rebates.”
Specific Programs and Energy Savings:
- Heating Ventilation and Air
Conditioning – 7,404,995 kWh ($600,000 rebates)
- Compressed Air – 2,127,087 kWh
($106,000 rebates)
- Motors and Drives – 3,198,011 kWh

- Lighting – 2,879,775 kWh ($83,000
rebates)
- Other programs – 2,491,241 kWh
($143,000 rebates)
DP&L’s ongoing Energy Efficiency efforts help businesses
save money through rebates for reducing energy costs by installing
higher energy efficiency equipment, lighting and for designing and
constructing buildings that are more energy efficient than standard
codes.
