C-P Flexible Packaging Announces Commitment to Convert 50% of Company’s U.S. Plants to Solar Power by 2025

C-P Flexible Packaging (C-P), a leading manufacturer of sustainable flexible packaging, has announced plans to power 50% of the company’s U.S. facilities with solar energy by 2025. In addition to reducing C-P’s carbon footprint, utilizing solar power will reduce costs and support C-P’s continued rapid growth.

C-P currently has 440 solar panels installed at its Placentia, California manufacturing plant. To date, this is one of the largest solar deployments in Orange County. C-P is now installing 2,034 solar panels at the company’s Lakeville, MN plant, producing over 1.1 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually and offsetting over 1.7 million pounds of CO2emissions per year. Simultaneously, plans for the company’s 3rd solar panel installation are underway. The company has created a roadmap for half of its U.S. plants to convert to solar energy by 2025.

"Harnessing solar power as a renewable energy source is consistent with our commitment to environmental responsibility. We are on a journey to reducing our impact on the environment," said C-P’s CEO Mike Hoffman. "As an added benefit, we’ve found that utilizing solar power provides significant energy savings in the long term. Solar power is truly a win-win, reducing our CO2 emissions while supporting our position as one of the most cost-competitive flexible packaging converters in the U.S.”

As part of C-P’s GreenStream initiative, C-P will continue investing in sustainable packaging products and manufacturing processes.
