Solar Investment Pays Off
The same forward-thinking approach driving the new packaging business, inspired CBS to install solar panels at its factory a few years ago, and the cost savings have helped fund this latest business expansion.
The 260 solar panels, supplied by Energus and installed on the roof of the 1300sqm factory in 2018 has since saved the company almost $30,000 on energy costs.
According to Thomas Bell, sales director at Energus, the panels have produced 96.8MWh of energy in that time. He notes that in 2020, Energus saw a 20 per cent increase in the installation of solar for commercial property owners.
CBS Printing director, Stephen Wilson, said the decision
to convert to solar was easy, after calculating the company’s return on investment to be under five years. “I see solar as an excellent long-term investment in both the property and our family business.”
In addition to its financial benefits, Wilson says the decision to convert to solar energy was an important step toward the company’s goal to develop sustainable business practices.
He says that the staff are proud of the company’s approach to sustainability and that CBS Printing has shared its carbon- reduction efforts, which include installing solar and using chemical-free inks with customers.
“Green packaging for ready-made meals is now the way of the future, as companies look at their supply chains as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies,” Wilson said.
equipment, to packaging components, to brand design, and much more, we can add this value for these clients to take the burden off them so they can focus on what they do best, creating the meals,” says Wilson.
“Working closely with our partner network, we have made it possible to turn around packaging design prototypes in a week, providing sample sizes and mock- ups for the customer to show to their customer.”
“In the past year, I have spoken to over 1000 companies, fielding enquiries or connecting suppliers as part of our network,” Wilson said.
“We’re pleased to be able to help these new food businesses, and as well as pass on new business to our network partners.”
Wilson says the packaging business has taken off so well that the company is looking to brand it as a separate division of CBS Printing. 21
