Harris Tea goes green with solar
Harris Tea is looking for new ways to offset the company's carbon footprint and will rely on solar power to reduce its impact on the environment. The tea company has announced that a solar panel system will power its New Jersey facility. The system will generate an estimated 600,000 kilowatt hours annually, which represents approximately 60% of the site's annual power needs. This is equal to a 300 million ton reduction in carbon emissions per year, or the combustion of 137'000 liters of petrol. In the future, Harris Tea aims for zero land fill. It plans to introduce self-sealing cartons eliminating plastic overwraps and install motion sensors for all warehouse lighting. Harris Tea also participates in the Carbon Disclosure Project.
